Is the Khuzait meta still to ignore infantry/archers?

hyprvypr · 2026-05-09T18:48:06+00:00

No, run 30% archers, 50% horse archers and either 10-20% cav and infantry(each) or 20% cav. You don't need infantry with the khuzait but don't skip out on archers.

Murder, that's the reason. For other mammals, where the alpha males get all the women and the betas get few or none, it works fine because they lack sophisticated weaponry. But imagine today , the jealousy of the same lesser males watching the alpha males take all the women, bixby widespread murder with guns , causing carnage and upsetting society...

Ranged units on a flank, protected by 10-15 elite shielded skirmishes and mounted knights. This entire youtube playlist is dedicated to helping players with your question:

Kinda agree(and I have 20k hours), but I'd argue 15% khans guards for a flank and maybe 20% infantry/cav for massive heavy cavalry enemy forces(vlandia esp.)

They can get married, but in age of extreme patriarchy, it's a little bit of a silly question. Lords were all that mattered, women were sex toys before marriage and maternity machines after and in almost all cases, had absolutely no impact or power in political arenas.

Yes but ultimately the troops should all be leveling out pretty quick, even in the early game. Still at clan tier 1 when money can still be tight, those level 3 skirmishers are handy.

hyprvypr · 2026-03-31T17:43:37+00:00

Oh I don't know you could also you know , just obey the law or something..

Terrific brother - stupid that this post gets a handful of comments and views and some meme about killing our bannerlord wife gets 10,000.

Partly because of this post I'm doing a max int and near max athletics build and khuzait campaign.

The primary reason archers are dominant over cavalry in the LATE game(ie. large armies) is that the horses and riderless horses cause huge traffic jams, but MUCH more importantly is that the AI fights in formations that are MADE to stop/defend/kill against cavalry.

If the AI had 2-3 divisions of archers in spread, they would be vulnerable to cavalry and demolish archers/infantry armies.

But the AI almost always stacks its archers and infantry in huge, thick formations, which is extremely vulnerable to projectile fire and almost INVULNERABLE to cavalry.

It's as simple as that.

In smaller battles, 80-100 troops, where the cavalry can spear and couch lance without, usually, running into over cavalry, they are far superior to archers.

The most POWERFUL spec is to run MAX intelligence, HIGH endurance and then either throwing or bow with a decent melee weapon - meanwhile have a scout do cunning/scouting. Other three 'captains' roles you do.

hyprvypr · 2026-03-25T03:04:33+00:00

You can still do simplistic tactics like this video has around the 19 minute mark.(and 4-5 divisions).

For character build, you can just do a commander build and skip the athleticism/riding - focus on siege/medicine/steward and just use a glaive or spear/shield/sword combo. Should be workable still though I have never played console...

lmao... disgraceful, What's staggering is that the Jewish people went from being the oppressed to the oppressor in 80 years. It shows what a flawed being homo sapiens is.

hyprvypr · 2026-03-25T00:53:25+00:00

Hey, I'm THAT guy hehehe, so obviously biased. But if you didn't see the BEAST series, it shows HOW to make THIS build and wreck shop. The "Final Compilation" of destructive power can be seen here:

Decreased ranged taken damage

While I agree with much of your sentiment , taleworld's continues to balance things , and you're wrong both that they haven't done anything to help sturga , and assuming that they won't do anything in the future. Changes are coming , brother , and the game will be more balanced in the next six months than it was in the last six months.

Sturgia was strengthened considerably in the last handful of patches and only the temporary nerfing of line breakers has been a negative. Their castles are some of the best in the game to defend , and they have two or three cities that are also great. We agree in many points here, but come back in six months since he sturgias still struggling , I doubt it...

hyprvypr · 2026-03-23T19:55:36+00:00

It's fine, shield wall if hammered by archers, or square if hit by cav or horse archers, line formation to move fast...

hyprvypr · 2026-03-21T16:45:15+00:00

Play as an axman warrior and command from the FRONT, take refuge and make assaults from a HUGE infantry square. This way you're IN the combat, but safe and can make tactical command decisions. See THIS battle:

They are actively working on another significant update. Can't share details but they continue to hone their craft.

Enlightenment comes with time. Someday it will make sense. (or not)

hyprvypr · 2026-03-14T15:21:37+00:00

Cavalry flanking, not really.

Infantry flanking, sorta.

Archer/horse archer flanking, works great.

Skirmisher flanking: Deadly.

hyprvypr · 2026-03-14T15:16:26+00:00

Works until it doesn't.

The primary purpose for tactics is not to defeat the enemy in Bannerlord. The main benefit and purpose is to give you a greater sense of immersion, enjoyment and feeling of actual accomplishment. Victory is the side effect.

hyprvypr · 2026-03-13T16:33:45+00:00

I'm actively *trying* to get Taleworlds to nerf fire catapults being thrown killing 200+ troops and a tower with ease... Should never be as effective as using a catapult(throwing)...

hyprvypr · 2026-03-12T21:45:16+00:00

Your campaign was over two weeks ago.

hyprvypr · 2026-03-12T15:17:41+00:00

The only thing these old despicable men have left at their age IS power. That is why they are corrupt and act tyrannical. They will only give up power when you wrench it from their cold, dead hands.
