This just showed up in my recommendation and I must say, that was a damn well played game. You have this down to a science by now. Well done!

There are few things that I can add from my own experience regarding Fian Ch. - At the very first encounter with enemy horse archers, you can rotate your archers to the left, and make them stand for a while. The enemy horse archers will then sort of "slide" on your fians like meat on a meat slicer. They will die faster and i greater numbers. Once they do, or run away, just have your Fians simply move back to front of the main enemy force. And your archers will be safer as well, since they will all be fighting and not just a small portion on their left flank. - Spliting your archers in to two formations and have them both flanking enemy infantry in a "scisor formation" will not only allow your Fians to work to their full capacity and ingnore enemy shields, but also keep them in range from main force (even without infantry of your own). And if they manage to get close to one of your archer formations anyway, just move them back, while the other keeps shooting. The only thing left there to do is to keep your flanks from being flanked by meele cavalry. You can spare your horses on such interception, instead of having them desperately aggroing infantry.

I have many questions about this. first, why use elite cavs and khans guards as throwaway fodders? they are hard to get and upgrade. ( a group of 25 elite cavs will take 200+ game days to gather) second, why not use the shock troops earlier? why not use them in conjunction of infantry? i'd put them inside the square formation and choose falxmen or sturgian for the 200 reach weapon third and arguably most important: why not use high ground for your archers?

@SpartanIsGaming

3 жыл бұрын

Erocknrolla I used elite cav and khans guard because they are the best in the game and I needed them to slow the enemy down rather than flank. Definetly shouldn’t take 200+ days to gather 25. By the time you own a city (I always take imperial cities) you can get dozens of noble troops a day. Best shock infantry in the game is the palace guards and I tried them in the middle of the square but they perform way worse than you would think behind shields. So I used them to counter any infantry that ran towards archers or used them to flank which they do really well at. And for the high ground thing the most important aspect is that I needed my archers spread out but also every single one to have line of sight so my best option was line flat ground rather than a hill so everyone could fire. Hopefully that covers everything for you. Keep in mind I had to use the best troops from each type and I also tried this multiple times to figure out what would work best

@@SpartanIsGaming dozens of noble troops a day? are we playing the same game? i enable cheat, teleport around the entire map checking all imperial villages and cannot even recruit a dozen of cavs a week (which is the refresh timer), noble troops never spawn in towns. and i've done all available quests to boost relations with them on easy recruitment difficulty. in my oldest playthrough i own 10 towns and 8 castles. yet the most reliable recruitment for noble troops is from prisoners and bandits. While logically speaking sending your strongest troops in to buy time will have the greatest result, but i don't think any commander would do such a thing, seeing how it's basically a suicide mission, and nobody sends their elites to do that, except maybe Leonidas from sparta. And having archers elevated will enable them to shoot past your shield wall soldiers since they have the drop on the enemy. also much higher chance for headshots and elevation provides free range due arrows dipping from gravity. i basically instantly retreat for better map rng if there are no hills around my spawn location. usually i want the lowest level archers to have their feet above head elevation of infantry the square is a good tactic, prevents enemy from flanking Over all great strategy, i frequently fight armies 3-4 times my number too, since the ai is just so dumb.

@boahkeinbockmehr

Yeah I guess it's a question of RP. The strategy in the video is probably among the most optimal but for "realism" (or at least how I envision what ancient battles were like) reasons I like to have a "Verlorener Haufen" (~lost rabble) of light javelin throwing infantry (e.g. battanians) that I use to countercharge horse archers/ slow down the enemy advance and disturb their lines before I get my heavy infantry in formation into the hopefully resulted chaos. Heavy cav on the right flank to countercharge breakthroughs and have their shields on the optimal side and shock infantry plus the remaining lost rabble on the left trying to outflank/ break through encirclements of my main line. I don't really like horse archers and try to bring as little regular archers as possible (I find that they often force me to fight from a stationary position which can get boring really fast). You can also defeat way bigger enemy armies if you time the shock value of your flanking attacks correctly, though it is of course a lot less effective against overwhelming enemy forces than the strategy shown here. (Though in regular battles you mostly just lose cheap and easily replaceable units)

You can put AI in command, if you do that then one NPC becomes commander of the unit and the cav attacks together. Once you used cav for the initial attacks, putting them under AI command makes sense, better than having them under a charge command all the time.

Great vid.. At mid late game, storming castles and running around the map I use 90% Khuzait Khan Guard. They're easy to find and level and great as cav or close quarter fighters.

Very similar to actual real life historical tactics. Other then the 1 square formation that basically block "squads" as one of them tangles up and au get stuck on it. But the horse tactics and slowing down and breaking formations. Well done and plausible

One tactic that works for me which allows me to lose barely anyone, especially my cav is have 100 archers, 100 infantry, 50/50 mixed Calvary. Go on a small hill in a tight formation with all units, start to march forward were the AI only see my cav first then volley them until they change formation then when the ground units catch up I charge all units, the main cav go through but instead of a distraction their just a first hit then when the regular ground troops go in the AI is confused of who to hit first. After the first wave of enemies start to go out I Keep all units on me marching up until I reach near there spawn then charge again. This can work with 1 to 5 ratio with mediocre troops, anything more will result in having more high tier troops. Its also a bonus to having a few camels since they are slower they are like a second wave of Calvary charge.

Heres a better meta, have slightly more infantry then archers, put the infantry to the right forward, and archers left rear. Maneuver your infantry and archer so the enemy infantry attacks your infantry sideways to your archers. since they will face your infantry, their shields will be to their left, the wrong side to block your archers, have your cav flank their archers so your infantry dont suffer the same fate, or distract them with yourself, and have your cav do a rear charge on he infantry. an early distraction from your part will prevent enemy archers from joining the main fight since they are on advance command and will stop because you are in their do not advance range, but the infantry will keep going since you are not the main mass of your army

A perfect showcase of archery being a bit overpowered lol if you want more range plus flexibility try the Vlandian Crossbowmen there great at shield walls, range, and can beat top tier infantry troops pretty reliably in close combat. Only downside if calv push in there kinda screwed but they can just about take them out in one bolt when they are charging so it goes both ways

They doesn't have enough ammo for big battles. If you play 500v500 they will run out of arrows in mid battle.

@@cvijetinglisic8368 that's due to the fact that they carry shields, also wasn't talking about ammo efficiency. In sieges they well also refill there bolts so no issues there. I get what your saying tho, but personally it'd an issue due to AI not respecting range units

The crazy thing about fians is you dont even need horses to upgrade them. Wildly OP units.

I also do a thing where I line the archers sideways far to the battle and send the inf. Just close enough to get the enemy to follow them and then the inf retreats as the archers pick off the enemy

I wanna see one against a bunch of horse archers, because that's the army type I struggle against

I've found the meta is archer spam army, horse archers really struggle against archers who aren't engaged constantly by shock cavalry. Archers in general seem to be a bit too powerful right now, maybe because a lot of units just get really crappy shields and don't use them. Most units I see have their shields down unless they are about to be engaged by infantry, or just took a hit from and archer, which they then lower after 4-5 seconds.

@@Mikalent yeh i agree. i tactic i use is put all my army behind my huge row of decent archers, and basically any calvary that comes my way gets mowed down, or charge through and get killed by my infantry/calvary behind. once they're done charging ya send out the horse archers to flank without problem, and then calvary/infantry.

Shielded infantry can just soak up horse archers, and HA armies always have shitty infantry components. Let the horse archers shoot at your shield wall while you shoot back with archers (mounted or otherwise), eventually they’ll mostly die and you can finish off whatever shitty troops they have left. This works. In one campaign I would routinely beat 1000+ Kuzaits (spelling?) taking

They really need to make reinforcements spawn closer to the battle. You can cheese every battle outnumbered purely due to how far the AI has to run to get to battle

Lmaooo the mass execution at the end is savage af.

The newest Bannerlord Beta adds a mechanic that looks a lot more like Total War too. Top down troop placements and organization before a battle and I love it

This is just the battle of crecy and agincourt with a few extra steps.

You are basicly preparing a open shoot range for your archers and distracting them 👍👍 This strategy works well even in Real battles if i am not wrong there was a famous English War that similar strateji is used Bannerlord should have some elements like wooden spikes or some roadbloks that would be awesome you should be able to prepare battle areas before the battle

Thinking of English tactics, tactics similar to those used at Agincourt work pretty well in Bannerlord. You can split your archers into two groups and have them flank your infantry. When the enemy infantry attack your infantry, you move your archers forward a little and shoot the enemy in the rear. Pull them back for the next wave... and rinse and repeat. Perfect for when the enemy has a shieldwall!

As a console gamer who can only play civilization 6 for a strategy game, I gotta say I didn’t even know games like this existed. This is really cool and just imagine having this simulator as a tool for ancient generals to practice with. Maybe somebody other than the mongols would have realized horse archers are OP.
