Let's share tips and tricks. I'm 500+ hours into this game and I'm still learning new things. I feel like it's helpful for people to share what they have learned because there's no official guide out there that tells you this stuff. Please share things you have learned that you think people may not know. I will share a few. Eh, couch had never worked outside of tourneys for me anyway. plink-plink-bro. Mind you this is the basic version, you can make it longer and add at least 40 points of swinging damage. 26. cyberodraggy. •. You can also add Spearbracing and Unhorsing, so this is a very very far from Best. 21. plink-plink-bro. On foot I have great success leading with a shield bash, like how in boxing you fight behind your jab. Shield bash -> overhead stab then turtle up and circle is a very effective method, even against sword and board because they'll try to come in close and stuff your stabs and you just punch em in the fucking face and then stab them in the neck. Here are my noob tips: Hit the melee arena in town until you level up a bit. Unless you have some odd mod, the damage you take is temporary, and goes away afterwards. You can also talk to the trainer at any training grounds which gets you extra exp, but the arena is handy, and it gives you some easy cash. The first two traits in the Leadership skill give the following: Combat Tips: +15xp per day to party and "Increase recruit level of units of the same culture with you from NPCs". Raise the Meek: +30xp per day to all tier 1-2-3 troops and, when governor, +5xp per day to troops in the garrison. I took Combat Tips but I'm not sure what "increase Vaegir Knights (and the heavy inf) are decent but lack of shields can hurt them in sieges especially. For missile troops, xbows are better for sustain bows for dps. Rhodok are best, Swadian xbows are ok but noticeably worse. Vaegir has the best bow troops but Sarranid & Nord are decent. Increased mount movement speed by 5%: Tug of Wooden Arrow: I: Increased ranged weapon accuracy by 4%: Banner of Emir’s Hawk: II: Increased ranged weapon accuracy by 6%: Banner of Iron Shields: II: Decreased taken shield damage by 15%: Banner of Shifting Sands: II: Increased troop movement speed by 8%: Banner of the Squire: II: Increased 1 0. r/mountandblade: A subreddit and community for the Mount & Blade series, created by TaleWorlds Entertainment. Some additional pictures of the Nanban Trade Ship and the Black Ship that you can sail in the Shokuho mod for Mount and Blade Bannerlord (without cannons and other props) r/Bannerlord • These are the best looking helmets in the game. Yeah that'll happen, a good thing to invest in when leveling your character is path finding. It increases map movement speed, so you can outrun enemies and not get captured early. Also, a large party in the beginning is not always best because it's slow, costly, and not very effective (because they're weak units). 4. 9XHm.
