How to play this?

>>385032648
Recruit them at villages.

>>385032648
I haven't played this in a while but I remember the general idea was to hire a shit load of peasants from small villages then just throw them into smaller battles with bandits and such, some will die and some will level up, rinse and repeat.

You can also recruit them at taverns in towns. make sure you get money first.

>>385032648
towns are colored based on their faction colors, nothing to do with their relationship with you

>>385033468
What? Red literally means they're hostile territories

>>385033637
No it doesn't, you fucking idiot. Have you even played the game?

>>385033124
>>385032997
>>385032914
How do I get the money, do I start with some? Also where do I find bandits, do I roam around or do I attack stuff on the map.

>>385032648
>get plebs in villages
>throw plebs at brigands and other vagabonds
>most of them die in anguish as you circle around the criminals and cut them one by one
>the ones that live to see the day learn how to die less
>rinse
>repeat
>at some point your retinue will become so good at not dying you can send them to not die on castle walls
>everybody and their mothers will hate you because you're a peasant trying to claim the whole land for himself
I didn't get past that part, but maybe you'll succeed

>>385032648
>recruit sandniggers at the desert villagers
>train the ones that survive into mamlukes
>repeat until 100 mamluke army

There, OP, saved you the trouble.

>>385033896
Guild master and lords will give you quests for money. Tournements are also a great way to get rich. Make sure have enough money to support your army.

>>385033892
You should immediately kill yourself. Green is allies, red is enemies, grey is neutral.

>>385034057
or you can recruit swadians and have swadian cavalry and rule the land

>>385034230
Or you can play the game as intended, joining the glorious Rhodok Republic and shooting filthy foreigners with crossbows from the tops of hills.

>>385033962
>not dying on castle walls

Unless you let your archers shoot at the defenders, retreat and repeat until there's no enemies left, then no, a lot of your guys will still die because sieges are dumb.

>>385034230
>swadia cavalry
>expecting to rule anything
>not building an army of rhodoks

Reminder that Rhodoks are white and based.

>>385034220
What about yellow and blue

>>385033962
Has anyone successfully taken over the map? I started a rebellion years ago and things went okay for awhile, people started joining my faction and shit but eventually basically all the kingdoms started attacking me.

>>385034220
(you)

>>385034380
Those are the names. The names. The red colour for names literally represents the player's character. So clearly that's not what he's talking about you fucking retard

>>385034332
Hopefully Bannorlord will improve on the siege mechanics (if it ever comes out).

Really don't get the hype with Rhodoks. The other faction with actual archers are better imo.

Also OP a good way to make some dosh is to capture prisoners and sell them.

>>385034394
I was pretty successful in taking over one and one kingdom and people seemed fine with it, but at a certain point the constant fighting gets so boring. Standing on the wall oneshotting peasants as they swarm your gates.

You keep capturing lords but you can't kill them. You can either sell them or wait for them to escape, to return with another 200 peasants you have to slay.

I wish auto resolving fights was a good solution but somehow 200 peasants can kill 50 swadian knights in a simulation, but can barely knock one unconscious if I actually fight.

>>385034624
Rhodoks are the ultimate siege defenders, that's all they ammount for. Meet then on an open field and they're toast.

>>385034624
Rhodok sharpshooters can destroy shields like nothing, and volleys from them are like fucking musket fire. They're also actually pretty solid infantry too, if the enemy can get past your giant fucking wall of pikes.

Mods that fix polearms and allow formations like spear walls just make this better.

He raided a town you dunce, towns are owned by factions so it would have a specific color, he's not talking about player characters
Why do I even bother with people who can't read anyways

Dudeeee dude...dude.

Go on the steam workshop and download the Star Wars conversion for pew pew lasera and light sabers.

>>385034753
i once tried to seige a castle full of nord axemen, you dont know fear until a thousand axes come hurtling down towards your face.

>>385036112
nords are better in variety of situations but rhodoks with their armor, crossbows and spears excel at siege defense

>>385035619
Except there isn't a red colored faction in Warband so he clearly wasn't talking the color of the towns name but rather its affiliation

Is there giant ships in this game? Can I do a ship siege.

>i once tried to siege a castle full of nord axemen

That's when you keep your troops outside throwing axe range and let your archers fuck them up, dummy.

>>385036590
>Except there isn't a red colored faction in Warband

Except when you begin your own faction. Comeback after you've got over 100 hours.

>>385033896
Sell butter and shit.

>>385032648
Recruit a ton of peasants and just level them up bullying bandits
Which can also net you troops because prisoners you save from an enemy can be added to your army

I'd recommend getting a diverse group
Top troops are:
Swadian knights is the best cavalry and will steamroll your enemies
Nord Huscarls best infantry and are good for sieges. Swadian knights on foot are just a bit below them
Rhodok crossbowmen are best ranged, but no horses so theyre best for sieges but still useful in a battle

Then you have:
Vaegirs have the 2nd best cavalry and archers so you have some versatility with them
The subhumans have horse archers if you want some
Mercenaries can be good filler troops, though the males can be overly expensive compared to their value so usually not worth it for me
Raising peasant woman to Sword Sisters isn't bad

Also if you ever rescue a manhunter, they're worth upgrading vecause theyre fairly strong and use blunts so I use them when I want to take a bunch of prisoners for whatever reason
When you camp you can then try to hire some of the captured enemies
You may need to do this later if you're at war with a faction you want troops from

Lastly, you can hire named characters into your army. You can outfit these guys and assign stat points like your own character and they'll never die so make good use of them. Though some don't get along

>>385036812
We were talking about the OP here who clearly hadn't created his own faction as you can see from his post.

>>385036812
HE JUST STARTED THE GAME YOU CUNT. THE TOWN WAS CLEARLY HOSTILE IF IT WAS RED. LEARN TO PLAY THE GAME YOU STUPID FUCK

>>385036676
the castle was at an angle that didn't favour this (i can't remember the name) its what i usually do though

>>385032648

U mad?

>>385037214
>be absolutely retarded and tell the person that was literally right the whole time that they wrong
>have other idiots agree with you

Yes I want to facefuck you and the other moron

how do I find bandits?

>decide to roleplay a band of bandits
>raid every kingdom except sarranids so I can sell shit and hide at their cities
>sarranids start fucking every other kingdom up

Too bad the bandit troop trees suck balls.

>>385037332
Enemies are red familia and so is your own faction. Deal with it.

>>385033637
no it doesn't , you clearly haven't played the game twat

>>385033896

After the first short quest-line for the merchant you should have at least like 12 people following you and some money. You can recruit people from villages, the types of recruits depend on the region. You can trade items, and fight small groups of people to get money.

How the fuck do you manage to fucking live a normal life?

You can't even figure out basic mechanics in Warband? What the fuck is your IQ?

>>385034057
Don't forget to go into the .ini file for your exported character, then bump Prisoner skill to 10.
Become the Slaver Emir.

>>385034204

This.

The skills of the nation the tournament is held, will determine what kind of gear you get in the tournament. If you suck at lances on horseback, don't join tournaments in Swadia for example.

I was right the whole time. Fuck this thread, I'm finally exonerated

>>385038028
so he was referring to the overlay not the letters? confusing as fuck 2/10

>>385034658

If a kingdom has no territories for a few days, they will no longer be able to come back, I'm pretty sure.

>>385032648
ctrl+x repeatedly while in your inventory character page

>>385038028
That's clearly green.

>>385038431
no fucker, learn to express yourself correctly, SHITE

>>385032648
Few tips
Ctrl+Space
Speed is important part of damage
Conquering the map is a giant chore so barely anyone bothers
Horse archery is OP for PC and shit for NPCs
Exp required to level gets pretty insane above level 25~
Dyeworks are usually best enterprises
Having troops from warring faction kills morale
If you don't have giant party don't bother with perishable food
Village quests are only good for relations
Villages with very good relations give you way more of way stronger troops

I hope Butterlord won't make this feel like a tedious chore crossed between herding cats and ping pong.

>>385038884
Why do you keep using 'letters' and 'red' together in the sentence? Are you guys serious? Its the god damned overlay the thing that is reddish, fuck, are you all FUCKING BLIND?
