Mount and Blade II Bannerlord Very Accurate Faction Guide

Now that Bannerlord is popular, I no longer have to constantly explain to my friends that the game isn't called "Mountain Blade". Still, I kind of miss it, as it gave me an excuse to talk about Mount and Blade. I had to make this video to fill the void.

"Horse archers are a blight upon mankind."
- Everyone who ever fought the Mongols

[choleraphd]

Trust me, having 53 different types of infantry all mixing with each other has never had any negative effects whatsoever. Just ask the Austro-Hungarian Empire!

[brimwild]

I looked to the comments and saw above zero, so disappointed.

Who needs cohesive lines when you can wheel 200 horse archers and delete armies twice your size

[BobyChanMan]

“If I could go back in time I would kill the first ever horse” that made me laugh, no one has ever said that in history up to this point

[raptorbrotherhood]

One time I was besieging a kuzait settlment with 500 men and an army of 700 attacked me, I was not bothered at first because I have destroyed southern empire armies with worse odds, but then when I loaded up the battle I shit myself seeing 124 horse archers riding towards me.

[kcrash]

"The southern empire troops are blue" sir, they are purple, one of three purples

[derekmuggenburg]

In my games Sturgia always gets stomped by the Khuzaits and the Vlandians almost immediately.

[coreymilstein]

"Horse archers are a blight on human-kind" yep, just like in real life.

[keithengoth]

I've missed Bannerlord content ever since your series ended. Thanks for filling the void

[DarthLevicor]

For some reason, the Vlandian missile units always have really low melee survivability even though they have shields, but somehow the Battanian archers can win most melee confrontations because they have BIG SWORDS.

[bababricksheep]

They said no to the LEGO ideas project for bionicle sorry

[irongeneral]

Lol, those Khuzaits look strangely like another East Asian people that nearly swept through all westward civilization in our timeline...

[chnb]

Bold words to say for someone in throat singing distance

[DarthLevicor]

Garios: The military should rule the Empire because they have swords.
Me: Can't argue with that logic.

[commandertempest]

In my experience, Battania steamrolled both Sturgia and the Western Empire before I could even learn how to play the game.
Even joined in on an army battle where Sturgia outnumbered the Battanias 600 to 200, guess what, battanians sat on a hill and rained the worst volley i've ever seen in my life

[rub]

That bionicle blue pin comment brought forth an emotion I all but forgot about

[Trupiato]

I've missed that pumped up kicks execution theme ; -;

[norXmal]

From my experience:
Vlandia has the best knights
Sturgia has the best Shield troopers and 2H'ers against shielders
Khuzait has the best horse archers
Aserai is just Khuzait's little brother
Battania has best foot archers, but a pain to recruit
Empire is an all-around, strong archers, footmen and cavalry


I don't mind any tips, this is just from my observations of M&B
