Bannerlord Tactics: Welcome to Epic Siege Defense

What does a massive, Bannerlord siege battle look like? Well you're about to find out.
This battle is chronologically out of order from the rest of my second campaign videos but I've had some siege defense requests and while I am not the 'Yoda' of siege because my army is usually running around, not staying put, this scenario gave me the right conditions so I took a stand.
My campaign is very late-game and it's a bit of a suicide mission as I refuse to give peace to seven of the eight factions, most of whom are larger than my own by now. Sturgia is the only one I keep the peace with, partly because it's my home faction. Very lightly modded.
The key to much of my success is a huge family(lots of brothers), and high level companions that form my elite 'reserve corp' with several 40+ level characters and(obviously) because of how late game I am, VERY high level equipment.
Subscribe for more gigantic, epic battles where I will try and adapt tactics to an ever more challenging campaign against rabid enemies and the mob of war.

    The commentary on these videos is always genius. "After killing twelve guys at a time, single kills feel like a lap dance. Pretty weak." ☠☠☠ "Troops are like water in a siege. If you let them start to gain inertia, they will sweep you away" I've been reading your tactical advice and occasional jokes for the last couple of days and I really really enjoy it. You've earned my subscription

    Admittedly I am not a siege-god. I focus mainly on getting troops into the defensive gaps and assisting my troops at need. Yes, though better to throw those explosive mortars when the enemy is close then shoot them. :D

    Thanks! That's actually one of my very first videos I posted, and it doesn't have voice over and pretty rough overall feel to it. Glad you still enjoyed it! My campaign is a death match against all eight kingdoms now and most are larger than my own small rebel kingdom. Huge sieges and battles are fairly common now and after fighting a thousand battles, I've saved the best for the channel. If you love siege, here's actually my favorite 'recent' siege defense, with my band of '300' spartans: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hnykts9uibuqoZc.html
