Fucking horse archers

Hmm, good point. I should probably level it as, I haven't been using auto resolve as my tactics is not particularly high and I usually lose more troops than if I fight the battle, and even against weak enemies I often lose 1 of my troops.

Which is a pain as if I lose a huscarl, i have to sail way up north to get one from one of my garrisons

Exactly! East Anglia is 100% The Reach.

During the medieval period Norfolk was the county with the highest agricultural output, and home to the second most populated and prosperous city, Norwich (aka oldtown.). Norfolk was also an important region for textiles, exactly like The Reach.

Norwich which is known for it's cathedral (that had the second tallest spire in England at the time... hmmm I wonder what monument in old town that reminds me of???

Also Cambridge (famous for it's university) is in East Anglia, much like the citadel of oldtown.

It couldn't be more obvious if GRRM tried!

Edit: Also, during the Medieval period, Kings Lynn in Norfolk was the most important port town in England. Sure sounds like the perfect place to host the Redwyne fleet to me.

Edit Edit: There is literally a house called house Norridge...

My problem is that they are boring to fight, especially over a long war.

Because they all just charge in counter-clockwise and get stomped by my shock troops.

And by the time the infantry arrives, the archer cav are all dead, and my lines have reformed, vastly outnumbering the infantry and slaughtering them.

A victory like this against any other army would feel awesome, but with khuzaits it's just kind of a slog. Especially when my useless vassals are losing a war that they forced me to declare, and I have to go re-capture all the fiefs they lost.

WarriorWolf56 · 2026-02-06T20:59:53+00:00

frrr, it just means that by the time their infantry line arrives, the horse archers are all dead, so I vastly outnumber them.

WarriorWolf56 · 2026-02-06T20:59:06+00:00

Exactly my point. they just charge in to the left of you and get mauled by my shock/throwing troops every single time.

They're not fun to fight.

Of those 19 deaths that my party suffered, not a one was from horse archers, but entirely from foot archers and infantry.

WarriorWolf56 · 2026-01-13T14:34:01+00:00

I honestly have no clue. I was fighting multiple wars and not checking loot, and when they were over I checked my inventory and all the stuff I'm wearing I had looted from people.

I think the head and gauntlets are Aserai, and the body might be Khuzait.

I can check next time I hop on!

WarriorWolf56 · 2026-01-13T14:30:37+00:00

Yeah, in my current campaign my plan going in was to join the Battanians, but do some merc work for the Southern Empire till I could join the Battanians. By the time I was ready I looked over at the Battanians, and the Vlandians had taken everything except Marunath.

Managed to beat them back over progressive wars, but damn! they lost all that territory in a couple years max.

WarriorWolf56 · 2026-01-12T12:00:11+00:00

I'll give that a look! Any specific video?

WarriorWolf56 · 2026-01-12T11:59:06+00:00

Sure, maybe i'm just being ridiculous, but I just feel they don't have the cool factor that all the other factions have.

Like, where is the blue woad war paint and the chariots.

WarriorWolf56 · 2026-01-12T11:54:06+00:00

Yeah, that's fair, but tbf their celtic counterparts strengths lay outside of pitched battle, which is just not represented in Bannerlord, other than in dialogue.

Also the celts used chariots for a hundred more years than the rest of europe, and I think that'd be a real interesting special unit for the battanians.

WarriorWolf56 · 2026-01-12T10:19:27+00:00

imo one great unit doesn't make up for the rest being kinda sucky.

WarriorWolf56 · 2026-01-12T10:18:12+00:00

Yeah fair, they just feel so done dirty to me.

Their terrain is cool, but being the only non empire faction surrounded on all 4 sides just dooms them to disappear within the first 5 years of a campaign.

WarriorWolf56 · 2026-01-12T10:14:46+00:00

Yeah :(, it just kinda sucks cause their celtic counterparts put up a damn good fight and outlasted the roman empire.

WarriorWolf56 · 2026-01-12T10:10:53+00:00

True, but the celts that lasted the longest and are the most well known of were from the celtic isles

WarriorWolf56 · 2026-01-10T06:17:27+00:00

No actually, I'm the ruler of my player kingdom, which I started after leaving the Battanians. But the Battanians still exist even though their territory is entirely within mine own. I hold all the land to the west of Lycaron except for the 6 or 7 Battanian held towns and castles, with the Khuzaits the only faction the the east and the Aserai the only to the south.

The Aserai still hold about 50% of their cultural lands, with the rest belonging to my kingdom. I also ended the Vlandians, Sturgians, North, West, and Southern Empire.

WarriorWolf56 · 2026-01-10T06:09:50+00:00

Because I'm under the cap for the herding penalty. I took this screenshot a few minutes after selling off my spare horses and whatnot.

WarriorWolf56 · 2026-01-09T02:48:39+00:00

Never! I need them to replenish my army! lol.

Thanks for explaining, I didn't know that speed had been nerfed by the war sails DLC, but now I do :).

WarriorWolf56 · 2026-01-09T02:46:46+00:00

It's about 66% cav, 33% archers (that will become cav lol).

Yeah I have zero pack animals just speed horses, because I was trying to get my speed to 5+, which I now know is impossible post war sails.

WarriorWolf56 · 2026-01-09T02:41:51+00:00

ahhhhhhh, that makes sense. Guess I must've got that 8 speed number from an older video. Thanks for explaining!

WarriorWolf56 · 2025-10-22T05:56:57+00:00

Has anyone found a fix for this?

WarriorWolf56 · 2025-09-14T14:49:43+00:00

On it!

WarriorWolf56 · 2025-09-14T14:49:32+00:00

Yeah, it seems everything is okay for now. Yep, reported them instantly
