5 TIPS That Will Make YOU A BEAST in Bannerlord

all right hey guys welcome back to the video and today let's talk about five tips and mechanics that will make you a beast in Banner Lord let's get right to it first whenever you're in a situation where you see a lot of different uh AI or fighting as you can see right over here there's massive Wars going on which you do want to check on is you want to check on the minor factions that are also roaming around and also the bandits that are roaming around now what I mean by checkup on I mean hold the alt button if you're on PC which will bring up more info I don't know exactly what it's on councils but it should be uh just one of the buttons that you can find in the options menu I do this because it will show how many prisoners there are per party now when a lot of battles like these are going on what's going to happen is Bandit parties and also minor Clans that might be a war with some of these kingdoms as well they will attack the smaller parties and imprison them and what's going to happen is you can see right over here on my screen we have this smaller party from a minor clan that has 34 prisoners and the troop types if you see them are actually insanely good so this is a very good way for you to gain a bunch of troops very early on because if you attack somebody with prisoners once you defeat them those prisoners you can automatically recruit they don't have to become your president they become your troops right away so whenever you see a lot of these battles going on make sure you hold the alt button if you're on PC and whatever button it is on consoles and check the Bandit parties and also the minor faction parties because the minor factions if you didn't know if you uh if the minor faction is not affiliated with any of the kingdoms they're fair game you can attack them it's not that big of a deal if you go to war with them and eventually they'll make peace with you over time because they don't want to keep fighting you so it's not as big of a deal as making war with a kingdom minor factions are fair game if you don't know what the minor factions are go to your encyclopedia go to uh Clans go to minor and these are all the minor factions that are in the world all of these are fair game to attack unless they say they're a part of somebody if they say they're a part of landia don't attack them because then you're gonna attack the whole of landia but if you find one that's not a part of anybody let's say for example these guys that were just about attack as you can see they're not a part of any Kingdom so they're fair game to attack and you won't really incur any real significant penalties so as you can see we're gonna attack this guy right over here because he has quite a bit of uh prisoners on him hopefully we catch them before someone else catches them up I think I press left on him so who might you be then there it is as you can see we kind of overpower him you know we're at War let's fight let's send troops there it is you're my prisoner and look at all the troops that we have just gone we have 17 Imperial veteran Caravan guards at tier five tier four tier five an insane come up so whenever you see a bunch of AI fighting make sure you check everybody who is um roaming around because you can really find a good come up like this especially early on that's going to give you an insane boost to start the game and there's also look at the prisoners that you can recruit or even sell an insane comma and not to mention also the loop because you know that party attacked these guys to get all their loot as well so just off that one attack you just made thousands of Dinars thousands worth of upgrades for your units and you became such a stronger Force so make sure you look out for it second battlelord actually has a couch lens mechanic where you can Auto attack with certain pole arms while you are on Horseback there are a couple requirements to it so first you have to go to your inventory and see if your pull arm actually has the couch Lance mechanic how do you do this it's very simple it just tells you so as you can see when I scroll my pull arm it says one-handed two-handed and couch lamps it has to say that couch Lance or you can't actually perform this type of an attack but these pull arms are very very easy to get there's plenty of them that have this mechanic and they vary in different price ranges so very easy to get your hands on it's any part of the game any any part of time of the game right so next once you're done with that let's do attack and let's let me show you how it's actually done so before I actually start the attack couple of things you can't enable this attack while you are stationary let's say you just bumped into somebody um you can't do this attack you have to first gain some speed uh while you are on the back of your horse once you do gain some speed you're going to see an icon pop up above your health bar on the bottom right side of the screen and once that happens that's when you can enable the ability by pressing X if you're on PC and on consoles check your options menu it should have a couch couch Lance and then it should tell you exactly what button you have to press let's press ready and let's actually show you how it's done by the way whenever you are the in the attack stance of the couch dance mechanic you can still get hit it doesn't make you invincible so mind that and make sure you don't you know just completely rush into an enemy without thinking right alrighty so let's gain some speed there you go the icon has popped up now when the icon pops up you can press X you're gonna put your weapon down and now all you have to do is just charge the enemy and the auto attack will happen for you can we charge the enemy and boom We Auto attack them I got hit a little bit but it's okay as you can see we did almost 500 damage and this is even the best pull arm in the game oh we missed right there turn around one more time try to get this guy right on the edge right over here missed again it happens sometimes you got to get it just right but you don't actually have to press the attack button there you go we got another one I'm doing kind of crazy attacks but you get the point so every single time you do the couch Lance you have to kind of reset it and press X One More Time and then attack who you're going to attack just like that very simple very easy and very very effective especially and you also can kill people on Horseback as well it's very effective for taking out the leaders and doing enough damage to possibly even you know take them out forever third if you're ever the attacking party you can actually Retreat multiple times during and before the battle and not incur any penalties morale penalties any penalties you won't lose any traits anything uh if you decide to not actually engage in the fight say for example I want to attack this guy we are enemies I'm gonna attack them now if I chose to leave right now there will be no penalties incurred at all so I leave right now and I can just go about my way Also let's say for example I get into the battle so I press attack now and and I also press ready now if I want to get out of this battle I could still uh what's it called hold the tab button and then press Retreat are you sure you want to retreat your party yes and if I do this I still incur no penalties so if the battle hasn't started yet if the ballot isn't completely started yet you can Retreat if you're the attacking party and you will incur no penalties and I can press leave again and just go about my business now if you're the defending party you can't do that you will incur penalties because you're technically backing out of a fight but if you're the attacking party you're not technically backing out of the fight because you're you know afraid or something of that nature you're just backing out because you don't want to fight them anymore so therefore no penalties fourth if you want to consistently find very high tier troops uh tier 3 and above for you to recruit when you ever you go through Villages you want to go to Villages that are not frequented as much by the AI Lords now here's what I mean either you go to Villages that are on the outskirts of the map as you can see this one right over here it's very far away from everything you can actually access it unless you go through this one little pathway and it's not on the way to any town uh this one doesn't get frequented as much pretty much most of the ones on the outskirts of the map that aren't really close to any major towns they will have higher tier troops because the villages will give the troops uh daily XP and the troops will level up until they are recruited so they will continuously keep blowing up until they're all recruited so if no one comes to recruit a bunch of troops from that Village they will go up all the way to tier five sometimes sometimes even tier six and you can catch watch it the village and get a lot of very good troops let's go to this Village right over here as you can see recruit troops and as you can see they have a ton of good troops now I don't have great relationship with these guys but if I did as you can see I can pick up how much is this one two three four five six tier four troops very good tier four troops and we've got some tier three troops as well and also pretty good tier two troops now um Villages like these right over here for example the ones that are surrounded by a bunch of towns where you know there's a lot of war going on because it's the Border region between two major kingdoms those will tend to have lower tier troops because they're always getting recruited and recycled you know the um the the Nobles that you recruit from they always have to bring new troops and they always start off at you know tier one or tier two but if you go again to the outskirts you can really find the higher tier troops because no one's really going to those villages to recruit anybody and those troops are getting daily XP fifth whenever you're clearing a hideout your choice at the end whether the duel or not matters okay so don't mind my big head that's in the way right over here on the screen but your choice does matter whenever you choose to either um Fight The Duel versus the one guy or attack everyone right so if you choose to duel you will receive more prisoners at the end because all the guys behind him will become your prisoners and um but if you choose to attack as a group you will gain you will gain slightly more renowned and influence and also a little bit more gear but it's really not noticeable since gear and hideouts are pretty much randomized so in my opinion it is always better to duel because the renowned influence gain does not come close to the extra prisoners that you can get that can uh either be sold for Dinars or be recruited with you so the duel is always the best option but if you're not the best fighter then you might want to pick the fight with the brigands but again the duels aren't actually that hard they used to be a lot harder actually in beta there you go very easy very simple there you go and if I were to pick to attack everyone you would literally only gain like 0.5.5 excuse me I'm talking 25 more morale and 0.5 more of renounce it's not really worth it there you go and we got more prisoners because of it because more people survived at the end we'll take all of those and obviously the loot like I stated it's kind of randomized so you really won't know that notice the difference regardless the option you choose
