The siege engines in reserve is an essential tip, you can lose a lot of troops if you try to overtake your enemy with ranged siege.

Bannerlord is easy until you start a kingdom

900 hours in and I had no idea about putting siege engines in reserve when sorting, great guide!

Started my first playthrough a few days ago. Didn’t know how to increase army cap so had 5 T5 imperial archers and 15 veteran legionaries, a good sword, a good companion and some good gear and money.

Fought some mountain bandits but their friends came to help and I still initiated combat. 45 vs 20 and I got it down to 7 vs 3 but then I was knocked out. Everyone died and I was captured. I lost my remaining money on a board game and now I’m destitute and wandering as a vagrant looking to gain back my glory.

Gun game but I have lots to learn.

Serve as a Soldier is one of my favorite mods, turns you into just one of the rabble in any lords army. You get outfitted with state-issued weapons and gear, and follow the lord around in their warparty. You can even earn enough honor to have fiefs deemed to you.

Siege weapons should immediately go into reserve by default, I thought building them was useless cause they would die so quickly

"Being successful in Bannerlord is 100% about taking the fights you want, and avoiding the fights you don't want."

Works for life as well.

Aside from my tip about area practice the next most important thing I would say to a new player is to avoid looking into exploits, I was glad to see this video deliberately avoided them. If you don't know about them most won't be things you stumble into during the first several hours of playing. But a lot of them once you learn about it can be hard not to use them and they will trivialize the game. Honestly unless you're struggling with a mechanic I would say don't even look into any of the background things that go into it or you'll quickly begin to exploit the game without explicitly being shown how. The scope of this game meant the team had to choose between robust systems or functional systems and they did a really good job if you're just looking to have a fun RP experiance.

It's alot more enjoyable now and not as frustrating but it's missing lots of things .no camp no downtime activities. No feasts .lots of stuff thts missing .they could add hunting In during camp screen

[chancesire]

I wondered why the castles kept destroying my siege weapons! Good catch and explanation. Would be good for the game to mention that to new players.

[lukylex]

This is definitely not for Beginers more like intermediate, i have no idea about 80% of what youre talking about

[SteebRNR]

I have 100 hours in the game this is the best video tips i’ve seen for the game. Good job! Could you do more ? Even for settings. For ex what is the correct camera distance from the character

[LordOfAncients]

Great tips! Just started on Ps4 a couple days ago and I am in love with this game!! Definitely struggled to get my bearings in the game but I am moving along nicely now! Thanks for the tips!!

Few comments about the Archers Unit Micro section.

1. If you have a big group of archers (100+) often times loose formation would be too big for all your archers to fit, especially in a foresty/bumpy terrain.
2. If you're archers have the highground, putting them behind your infantry could work. Think about the line of sight. If the archers are firing above and behind your infantry, your good.

Also, that line of sight could also apply to what formation you have for archers as well. You can make line-formation with archers work as long as they have adequate spacing between.

Easy??? Bro are we playing the same game

[NoxiD-]

The siege weapon trick was worth a sub alone.

[zac]

That siege one was very helpful! Always thought the only useful way to siege was to start the battle as soon as I built a trebuchet

[stevenmackey]

My first play through is rough. I didn’t realize everyone would declare war on my in the first week of my new kingdom (spent a lot of time cutting off heads from a kingdom that imprisoned me a lot.) and so I made a giant army with my companions (700+ units) and that took some figuring out, but when I go to take my first city I only had 100 troops on the field. It was really upsetting and idk how to fix my troop deployment. That’s how I ended up on this video.

Reserving the siege engines tip was awesome 👍 I had no idea thank you.

[SupaSaiyanFJ]

Too bad there aren’t any mods for Xbox
