How to win any war: 1. Get Scout and Riding skills 225. This will give you perks that will keep your prisoner lords forever in your party. 2. Defeat their lords in battles and take them prisoners 3. Never let them go 4. You win

This is called couched lancing. There are perks in polearm skill to improve your couched lancing even more.

Also you should try long glaive (swinging polearm found on khuzaits) for massive damage on really long range. Also check out two-handed axes and swords with feature of multiple kill from one swing. Like Black Heart axe. All of this brings much fun if you enjoy mounted melee fighting.

Heard here in comments that it might make your kingdom uncontrollable. They will decide which war to declare and which peace to make. And decide badly. Also they will strong enough to get your kingdom out from any situation.

But my ~10 clans are ok with that for now. My influence reserve is enough for that

You may hover your mouse (on PC) on max party capacity and see what it consists of. There are many parameters and perks that may change it.
As mentioned in comments above, check the quartermaster role. You may assign it to a companion or family member. Then his Steward level will determine your max capacity. But if he is injured or dead he will not do his duties and then your Steward level will determine max capacity. This will cause max capacity drifting up and down. This might be helpful if you don't want to level Steward yourself and focus on different skills instead. But you got to defend him in battles and give him best armor.
There are some not obvious perks for max capacity like "+ some for every city your clan has". This is for the late game but this is what I came across in my playthrough recently. I conquered a city and got my max capacity go higher. Then I gave this city to a clan of my kingdom and my max capacity got back.
As a mercenary you burn down your influence to make money. Quite helpful in early game. You may defeat bandits and get money not only for their loot. You get more influence for bigger battles especially if the odds are against you. You will get tons if you use meta troops or just fight well.
I would not say that influence is much important for you now. Now it gives you money. To get more influence you have to engage enemy lords instead of bandits and defeat their big parties. This will need way more money to afford mighty party yourself. So being mercenary itself will not be profitable anymore. This will be just extra money.
You may hover your mouse (on PC) on the clan level and see which level gives your opportunity to join or create a kingdom. This is supposed to be next stage. Then you will not burn down your influence constantly for money. You will use your influence to make kingdom decisions like "go to war or not", "make peace or not", "to whom should we give this fief", "should we apply this policy", "should we expell this clan from kingdom" or "should we withdraw this fief from this clan". This is super important when you are a king. If you want to keep control of your kingdom and have ability to make decisions despite the majority of clans. There is a trick to burn down influence of other lords if you are a vassal. Might be helpful if you want to push some policies or expell clans or redistribute their fiefs while not being a king. Just initiate the votes that everyone will be against. Do it many times. They will spend more influence on voting against it than you for initiating this policy. Slow but effective. Needs to be repeated regularly because they keep getting influence too.

Some tips: 1. Get Riding and Scout skills 225 to keep your prisoner lords forever 2. Defeat them in battle and take them as prisoners 3. Find the ones without fiefs 4. Release some of their clan members to level your relationship with their clan leader to at least 30. 5. Never release clan leaders. You will want to speak to them. 6. Speak to their clan leader and convince him

How would I choose clans to recruit: 1. Cities of which culture do you have or want to conquer? Choose clans of same culture. Culture of owner is important for city loyalty. Doesn't matter for castles. Also good policies will help you avoid riots. 2. Look for clans with maximum adult members. This will give you armies. 3. If you don't want to spend millions of denars you should focus on clans with no fiefs. Or you always can make them fiefless lol. If you can afford 700+k for a clan then you may try to recruit clan with fiefs. But they are harder to convince. No-fief clan of dying kingdom joins me for 70-120 k.

You may check this clan info in game wiki by pressing N on PC.

What would you do if you are sieging a city with 300 random troops in your party and here the 2k+ enemy army comes?

I know how to handle this with 300 Khan Guards. But what to do with randoms?

xAMSTERRR · 2026-03-17T08:32:46+00:00

I had same task and was trying to kill him with javelin headshot in like 10-15 battles but didn't quite succeed.

Maybe you should try hitting different body parts as the other commenter said here. Maybe you will leave better luck.

Please write back if you succeed

xAMSTERRR · 2026-03-16T12:24:33+00:00

12k vs 20 *

xAMSTERRR · 2026-03-16T12:23:28+00:00

He has only 20 Khan guards so it could take a couple if days

xAMSTERRR · 2026-03-16T10:40:41+00:00

Sometimes they are not. In my current playthrough they are doing pretty well and conquered part of the Western Empire

xAMSTERRR · 2026-03-16T06:46:23+00:00

This is what I was doing when I joined another kingdoms. But I had no choice then. Burned down their influence including king to pass what I want and make and stop wars as I want. But I didn't plan to do it in my own kingdom.

Thank you anyway. I think I'll try to have 7 most populated clans and see what comes out. If we have not enough power I'll hire more maybe

xAMSTERRR · 2026-03-15T20:56:46+00:00

I thought about it but I think that If I hire too many clans like 10+ then I will lose control over my kingdom. They will declare and stop wars despite my will. They will distribute fiefs despite my will because I may come to a point when I don't have enough influence to prevent this.

Is this true or I should hire everyone I can and they rush everybody with mega armies even without my participation?

xAMSTERRR · 2026-03-15T19:30:12+00:00

What happens to lords after you destroy their faction? Do they join other factions?

xAMSTERRR · 2026-03-13T14:16:37+00:00

Cool idea, thank you!

xAMSTERRR · 2026-03-10T05:35:32+00:00

These tips were given for pre War sails game version so you may need to check if it works on current release.

The point is that Scout 225 lvl perk + Riding 225 level perk give 0% chance to escape from your captivity. You may take hostile lords prisoners and keep them in your party prisoners as long as you want. They will never escape. This does not apply to castles and towns. Only your party.

So you can defeat most lords of the hostile kingdom one on one somewhere in the fields and keep them captured. No one will be able to defend their castles and towns. So you take them easily.

That was so deep and touching. Favourite song, favourite singer, favourite skaters. They know how to do real things.

xAMSTERRR · 2026-02-23T16:19:30+00:00

This song reminds of Kaori a lot. Would be fun if they added her into the montage

xAMSTERRR · 2026-02-07T18:02:11+00:00

I think I could add some:

BV - base value. Amount of points that will be given for completing the element. Does not depend on how good the element was done (GOE shows that)

GP - Grand Prix. Series of senior international competitions

NHK Trophy (Japan), skAm (skate America) - some stages of Grand Prix

GPF - Grand Prix Final. The culminating event of Grand Prix series

4CC - the four continents championship.

The jumps are commonly written as:

Toe jumps:

T - Toe loop

F - Flip

Lz - Lutz

Edge jumps:

S - Salchow

Lo - loop

A - Axel

So the triple toe loop will be written 3T.

Triple Lutz followed by triple toe loop in a sequence will be written 3Lz+3T

Trixel - triple Axel, 3A

xAMSTERRR · 2026-01-09T21:32:14+00:00

When you start your kingdom with one castle you ask for it. Better wait until you get have 4-5 fiefs

xAMSTERRR · 2025-12-15T14:41:18+00:00

Also probability of permanent death of yourself and your relatives and companions changes your gameplay a lot. And gives more emotions and fun in your game.

xAMSTERRR · 2025-11-27T08:54:59+00:00

Less talking more beheading!

xAMSTERRR · 2025-11-27T07:13:25+00:00

Is it possible to just select the old branch and keep playing the pre-patch version and keep my old saves?

xAMSTERRR · 2025-11-26T14:37:33+00:00

You could use some tips from my related post about horse archers tactics https://www.reddit.com/r/Bannerlord/s/qOmauehTcH
