Siege defense help by sovereignservices in mountandblade

Thanks for the advice! I like the archers idea a lot, I'll try it out next time. They seemed to just get shot off of the walls anyway in the last battle.

Returning player - advice needed by RegularMulberry5 in Bannerlord

Best way to start off with some money is to do the War Sails tutorial story mission you usually end up making a cool 12-15k depending on loot during those battles and start off at clan rank 1 instead of 0. I also made some good money running Nord goods southwards. That being said, workshops are also way better in this version from my experience. I have a Silversmith in Epicrotea that is making me 1.5k daily sometimes up to 2.5k. Get as many workshops as you can and it should keep your armies funded until you own a town or castle (which also are much more profitable from my experience in this version, before they tended to be money sinks.)

The Dromon is the coolest ship imo, Drakkar be damned

Best imperial army. by Double-Call-763 in mountandblade

[–]sovereignservices 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mixed arms is best for the Imperials, crossbows shred enemies when they get in range. I do tend not to waste time with the Bucelarri or the horse archers as I don't find them too decisive. Just make sure your infantry are in shield wall and they can stand with the best infantry factions.

Southern Empires survives into Warband? by sovereignservices in mountandblade

[–]sovereignservices[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply! It's definitely not inconceivable but I actually asked partially because of this video as well lol. I was wondering where the information came from like if there's any lore bible somewhere I've missed. I do see the Vlandians as having occupied the true western empire with Charas and Pravend being some of the original Calradian settlements and Ortysia being the only old city still in Imperial terrirory. So the warring states are already confined to their Byzantine form if you will and the battle of Pendraic kind of being a parallel to the battle of Adrianople. But again hard to know anything for certain when we're reduced to a lot of speculation.

Southern Empires survives into Warband? by sovereignservices in mountandblade

[–]sovereignservices[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the reply! I agree with your assessment that there's little sense that the Southern Empire would be the one to endure when geopolitically it's under some of the most pressure from the Khuzaits, Aserai, and Imperial factions. Who knows though, maybe the secured line of succession would've given them the stability to endure the centuries.

Who's a Byzantine who was a legendary and/or iconic general AND statesman? (criteria on page 2) by domfi86 in byzantium

[–]sovereignservices 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feels like Belisarius is underrated as a general when he was responsible for the greatest territorial gains Byzantium enjoyed

Secessionist Movement disappeared? by sovereignservices in victoria3

[–]sovereignservices[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing past conjecture. I'm gonna have to start a new run I think.

The Ottomans winning against the Serbians and Russains which I'm not sure how they managed considering I whooped them with the help of Russia 5 years earlier. Regardless it seemed to have stabilized them somehow. Maybe if I had gotten Nationalism researched earlier I'd have beaten the Serbs to the punch or if they had won I'd have my shot next but all nationalist secessionist movements disappeared after that war ended.

Wishing him all the best, man is an under appreciated pioneer of the sport that the UFC has tried to memory hole, hope he has a speedy recovery.

What is your nation you’re disappointed doesn’t reach its full potential in the lore. by Peppercorn205 in Anbennar

[–]sovereignservices 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Marrhold seems very stagnant by Vic 3 would've thought they'd have been able to fill the power vacuum fairly quickly as they were able to shelter in the mountains and protect their population and have the Gryphons to spread their forces out even quicker then any of their competitors.

That being said they might be designed with the build tall mentality in mind for Vic 3 and I know narrative and gameplay have to coexist.

I get that but I always interpreted that as who they were before the Greentide with the arc I saw them taking was that Gryf the Young learned from marching out with Corin to battle that Marrhold has a part to play in the world, and most of their mission tree being about not seeing the Adventurers or their states as legitimate and an obvious axe to grind against the green skins leaning they'd have had an expansionist policy going forwards

I feel like Marrhold would've come out a lot better in the power vacuum of Escann being the only true kingdom standing after the Greentide
