    A couple things I’d like to remark: 1. I remember when the first 500 battle was played and how humongous it looked then; we are reaching such numbers on the regular now 2. You can actually see the different units getting better at fighting. You see a lot less of the lines just falling apart into a general melee but everyone is keeping with their allies and actually staying in formation. The captains have also visibly gotten better at keeping everyone reigned in

    Exactly my thoughts and what I tell the soldiers. There’s moments in the battle I look the down the battle line. 1. It feels like a proper battle 2. I can’t even see the end of the battle line, leaving me to wonder what’s even happening on the far flank. Which is a cool feeling. Thanks for the comment brother

    Historian here, that was awesome. Maybe not totally realistic because medieval infantry IRL as in other eras, wouldn't charge that way breaking formation as it would be a certain death sentence and you wouldn't have a respawn, and even in gaming simulators you don't have preservation instinct to worry about, but you acted tactically like a real platoon leader, a real centurion, a real manipolo commander. Awesome.

How they try to bait you into a Hannibal's Crescent feigned retreat, but you immediately react, yet just as fast they notice you don't buy it and just rush your line - you shout for your troops to stand their ground, but in a glimpse there as you're fighting you can see the enemy's surprise worked and your line is pretty much routed, with stragglers getting cut down left and right.

    I think if the yellows had not gone forward without orders, or had all listened to the instruction to hold (i.e. form a line again), the charge by black would not have been effective. As it was, the yellows were in a big L shape when the blacks charged into the apex of the L, and the blacks actually surrounded themselves with yellows briefly, which would ordinarily have had a bad outcome. However, the blacks seemed better at fighting and so, even though the yellow leader had several blacks backs exposed to his sword for a few seconds, there wasn't enough time to take advantage of it because the blacks beat most of their yellow opponents very quickly.

    Good Lord this was so cool. Knowing these are real people in essentially an unscripted battle using realistic tactics melted with video game mechanics. Seeing organized lines, moving behind the protection of other shield lines into their positions was amazing. Also very clearly shows the usefulness of banner bearers during the period. It’s so easy to get discombobulated in the battle, and then to hear your commanding officer, rally to the banner, and look up and see where that’s at very easily was an awesome moment.

    Most skirmishes atleast to my understanding caused less than 50 deaths before a side buckled and fled. However this is before Medieval times. Also the men actually worrying for their lives was a huge factor, seeing a well equipped and uniform enemy was like a death sentence to engage which caused much of Roman success. However if it is defending a home town or such where morale is high they usually would fight to the death, so those skirmishes/battles are usually the ones we know of today. " Kings and Generals " got alot of history on this subject breaking down battles to be understood.

    Watching this, it made me think about several battles from the Medieval Period and Antiquity, particularly the battles where it's mentioned that one of the flanks had done very well and pushed their opposing flank back, but had become overzealous and pushed back too far and became separated from their forces. For a second, I imagined myself in the place of a soldier who was utterly confident as his unit pushed back the enemy, only to turn around and see that we have left our line behind, and are now being surrounded by enemy forces.

    It's difficult to be that charismatic in a stressful situation like this. You gotta maintain the temple and try to make coherent decisions in the heat of the battle, so there's little space for more charismatic and sweet talk :( I can tell it because I've been captain of a group of skirmishers/melee in M&B Warband and when shit comes down to your squad, you gotta make fast decisions. In a resume, it's better to lose some charisma at the time you give orders to maintain a clear mind so you can keep making good strategic decisions. That being said, Benoni was very supportive when things came down haha I'm not that sweet, but at the end of each battle, I gave my brothers-in-arms some pats on the back.

Instead of saying something like 5:43 back row goto the left don’t use the front guys, try having your men form a 5/7/10 man front and the rest falling in behind them in rows.

So if the 1st group fails for whatever reason, you simply tell the 4th group to take over or whichever one is the optimal for the task.

    multiplayer limit is 1000 slot server. Battles with 1000 players dont happen because community is not so active and big to fill 1000 slot server. There is also engine limitation 2048 agents/entities per map for both singleplayer/multiplayer. Game crashes with more than 2048 agents. If every player picked a horse on full 1000 slot server that would be 2000 agents per map, within allowed bounds, but add slighly more players and game crashes.. Horse also counts as agent.. There is a thread on forum where this is discussed in depth...

    I wonder how Bannerlord would look-when-watching and feel-when-playing if the upper and lower body weren't so disconnected; imagine if making an attack was an animation lock that included set footwork, maybe even different footwork patterns for different WASD and swing-direction inputs.

    I wonder how combat would have to change for polearms to play more of a role in these line fights. In IRL reenactment you tend to see a lot more poking and prodding before any sort of charge, and spearheads can slip through very slim openings. In games, shields work almost as a binary defense - you're either fully protected from a given range of degrees, or not at all, so it's comparatively easy to advance on any formation. I'm sure there are other factors at play too, like the inherently frantic movement of a multiplayer game, but I'll stop here :P Very cool to see these kinds of organized fights! I used to be part of something similar in Napoleonic Wars for Warband

    ok, so im fairly new to the community of the sword, but here's why i think spears are normally a bit trash in games: psychology, in game u never actuly die so one charge in and fights more with weapons than shields. in war, you only die once. so you would fight way more with ur shield than ur sword. even horses would not actually, willingly run into a wall of pikes. which is why they where used to harass, flank and chase down the enemy once routed. so real men fighting would charge but probebly not rush in head long. as they get closer the front rank starts slowing down, and gradually the momentum is lost. most battles would probably have been a stand off, with men tossing projectiles and move in and out of the moral tension zone to strike, which is a helluva risk. so in real battle, the longer ur weapon, the closer to ur own line u could stay while still striking at the enemy. not only is that range advantage a huge factor 1v1 psychologically, im sure it gives the combatant a bit more confidence to strike. becouse they dont have to get so far away from backup or quite so close to the actual enemy. as for making spears better in this game, IDK, faster attack rate and stabs only for spears, helberds could have thrust and over hand only. maybe with overhand being able to strike through allies. its beleved they where pretty much used this way in actual battle, the second line striking over the first. hence the pollaxe, pole but poll or crown of the head, at least according to some.

    Execellent question! In the BRE you’d be placed in either the infantry or archer divisions. Cavalry is a very sought after position. If you can imagine 200 players on one team with only 15-20 cavalry. It’s hard to cater for everyone. The longer and more loyal to the clan you are, your path may eventurely become a mounted sergeant or a squire to a lord. Effectively there is a waiting list.

    1:41 the first moments are honestly a good example why medieval armies usually avoided a charge when in a shield wall, the attacker is at a disadvantage so it's either very slow progress or waiting for the enemy to come. Some scribes mention that a formation must be standing so close shoulder by shoulder that an apple can't pass between them, which can't be ensured when moving, it just needs one little bush or rabbit hole for a small gap in the formation that the enemy can use

    probs coolest thing ive seen today! great vid. only thing I think u should incorporate is give ur self's a little more space, and use ur archers in a way to force them together. for example a shield wall shoot the left or the right depending on whats happening ofc and if its just a single wall shoot the left and right and thin the wall and make them go tighter easier to flank and surround them. Plus in bannerlord u cant walk through small gaps between soliders so if u have slight gaps u can use spears through the gaps.

    Some good ideas. We do sometimes slightly separate the wall when the archers are directly behind us. It’s hard to always pull off in the chaos of battle. Normally happens in the opening forming up
