Bannerlord Vassals Guide How To Always Recruit Them, Manage and More in Under 14 Minutes

hey guys and welcome back to my youtube channel in today's video we're going to talk about vassans my last video about the subject was made a few months back and a few things have changed since then mainly regarding acquisition and management who are vassans if you're new to bananard or maybe new to medieval terms you may not know what vasons are for even historically speaking or more likely what they do in the game and even they are historically vasons were nobles in charge of controlling and managing the territory owned by the ruler they served monarchs sultan's kings it didn't matter busters were used pretty much in any kingdom and in a way even today the most common duties of a vassal were to defend the land govern it and also rally the troops in case of a new conquest all of these duties were aimed at helping the ruler managing his vast territories now let's stop with this crappy history lesson and let's talk about bannerlorn in banalore vasants are hero characters and can be found in the encyclopedia under the heroes page by selecting the noble category not to be confused with other hero characters like mercenaries who can get recruited to fight alongside a faction and leave at any time also not to be confused with wanderers these are characters that can be found in taverns and recruited by the player they have similar roles to nobles but work more like loyal mercenaries wanderers can do some of the roles of novels among those we can find party leading governing of settlements captaincy of specific formations arterials leading caravans and completing missions but unlike nobles wanderers can't create or join clans outside of the players the main role of a vassal in banner is to help a kingdom defend and conquer a few moments later although a good axe can do the job even better if you don't mind the massive hatred and dealing with other people you probably aren't that kind of player where are you [Music] now that we know vastness are compared to other hero characters it's time to talk about clans plans are composed by a group of nobles who fight under the same banner for one faction on the map another way you can see them is a noble family but not all nobles in a clan are related by blood to exist clans needs to have a minimum of one member if the member is killed the clan is destroyed the maximum number of members a clan can have is basically infinite depending on the clan tier clans can filled up to four party leaders the clan leader always being prioritized on the ground clan members above the age of 18 and they can't be fielded on the ground will take on the governing duties of a settlement even in this the clan leader has priority this can happen after said leader was relieved from prison and the clan is already fielding for active party leaders clan tiers a clan tier one the ai will have only one available party the clan leader will receive 25 additional units while every other member of the clan will receive an addition of 15. a clan tier 2 the ai will be able to fill two active parties the clan leader will have an additional 50 units while every other member will have an additional 30. a clan tier 3 the ai will be able to field three parties the clan leader will have an additional 75 units while the other members will have an additional 45. a clan tier 4 the ai will be able to field four parties the clan leader will have an additional 100 units while the other members will have an additional 60. a clan tier 5 the clan leader will have an additional 125 units while every other member will have an additional 75. a clan tier 6 the clan leader will have an additional 150 units while any other member will have an additional 90. keep in mind that all of these bonuses are no cumulative let's talk about recruiting now you may be thinking that any vassal will join you as long as you pass the speech checks and have enough money well i'm afraid to tell you that it's not that simple after completing my last ironman campaign fully streamed on twitch i realized the few things have changed in the latest versions of the game both for the player and the ai alike persons that own at least one fifth any fifth are extremely unlikely to join your function even if wealth is set to very poor or poor pai is much more aggressive when it comes to recruiting as soon as you take their territory the former owner clan will basically go broke really fast the other clans can initially help him staying afloat but not for long in less than a year he will be gone to a new function if he is still fifless and once he is in that new function he may leave again for the same reason how do you counter this recruit and do it fast usually as soon as i have around half a million and i'm either done with a war or depleted on units i go to my nearest carries and drop some units in there until i get to 150 i then try to get my party speed around 5 by keeping cavalry and horses in the inventory slashing some animals if i'm murdering and slashing food if overburden also don't forget to leave your prisoners in the dungeon they will just slow you down and i simply open the encyclopedia find the buses i want to recruit and try to get them but before doing that we need to evaluate clans i believe this is one of the most overlooked steps when it comes to recruiting you may be thinking that any clan will add the war effort and would be beneficial to your cause well not really let me explain numbers with talking numbers i mean active ears a clan with many ears can sustain a couple getting taken prisoner or even dying a clan with three or less doesn't fare that well eight eight of the members is quite important especially later if a clan looks good in terms of numbers but most of the available errors the 18 plus are above or close to 50 then that clan may be a bit of a trap i advise to look carefully at age for the oldest members and youngest yes i am talking about the kids in additional change you may be a factor when deciding to go or not for a clan selecting your clans is very important especially your first 10 to 15 pick them wisely and avoid falling into these traps influence every clan will use influence in your favor or against you the latter being the priority here if a back clan let's say two members can spend the same amount of influence of a better clan while providing less on-field strength you may find yourself in a top spot real quick in the early game especially let's combine that with the ten percent casualty for heroes and the bell clan may disappear in your very first fights making your investment on them kinda pointless thiefs i'm now going to give you a nearly game tip of mine that i always use when i start out my kingdom and it's about fifths if you know how to win the sieges i made a video about that that should help you out performing better in sieges should be in the description and you also are good at winning fights effectively and you just started your own kingdom this step will be crucial to having a strong start after i start the kingdom i usually go around the map looking for at least two mercenary clans then conquer most of the things i can with them if i have money i try and go for some of the clans that fit my requirements then i keep conquering i try to get my second vessel as soon as possible then stop yes stop recruiting even if i can keep going let me explain why if you only keep two vessels and a few mercenary clans you're set up to destroy the first faction on your way you then give to your vassal all the castles and you keep old towns up until you have five or six at that point force piece and get some other bastards doing this will leave you with a lot of towns that are simply impossible to acquire if you keep recruiting because by only having two bastards you will always be in the voting for ownership and you can override the vote quite easily as well hope you go by a man there you don't need to find the leader to know if a clan is interested you can ask to any member of the potential clan what they think of their league and if interested they will tell you to look for their clan leader this is where flawless for me in the last campaigns keep in mind that it's way more likely that the fifth-less clan will be willing to join your function so let's say you found that one of the clans on your list is interested and you are now seeking for the clan leader here i will tell you that there is a quite a simple trick to get the information updated every day with great accuracy you simply need to get into a village or town and then back out this action will update the encyclopedia and give you the closest location to that hero keep in mind that this may be a bit buggy if the euros has been released from prison or after battle price busters tend to adjust their signing fee depending on many factors some of these are your kingdom's strength their clan tier and their kingdom wealth but most important most importantly theirs talking about wealth clans can have up to five different types very poor ranging from nothing to 14 000 gold or ranging from 15 000 to 49 000 average ranging from 50 000 to 124 000 and reach 125 000 or more so now that we have all of these informations about how to find the perfect clan let's talk about another step in recruiting which is winning the speak checks i have already talked in my previous video about how relations play into recruiting and what perks will make your life easier but since this is a complete recap of that one i will do it again if you already know about this part feel free to skip ahead relation is important when passing speech checks not so much for lowering the price yes it is very important and not to be overlooked also increasing relation with enemies is quite tricky and one of the best ways to do it is the prison breaks in the pre-kingdom yearly game and by releasing them keep in mind that to increase relations you don't need a specific member for that clan any will do athletic spark having going at 75 skill this perk is easy to get and gives you a 30 percent increase over the base peak check for example if the base is 10 having going will bring it up to 13. 20 becomes 26 30 becomes a 39 and so on charm perk meaningful favors this will increase double persuasion success chance by an extra 10 work the same way as i've been going so a 10 will become an 11 a 20 a 22 and so on combine the two and you get an extra 40 percent on doubles an extra 30 percent on single checks final tips the final tip to managing your bustles especially with death enabled is about calling them to your army try to not call struggling clans with your army as heroes can only die if the player is involved in a non-stimulation fight disband parties with less than 50 units from your army as the risk of them dying is way higher than the strength they bring on the field you can keep them if they are max newmarks can respawn quite fast so you don't really need to worry about them if this video gave you the info you were looking for then consider subscribing to the channel or liking the video this info can be heard by more people in your same situation i also stream on twitch almost every day the link to my channel is in the description as always thanks for watching
