FAQs

Is Bannerlord better then Warband? ›

Bannerlord instead deals with leveling a different way – the more a player performs a certain skill, the more that skill will increase. It's similar to the proficiency mechanic in Warband but applied to every skill in the game. This makes leveling a much more natural, smooth, and immersive process.

Increasing party size

To increase this you need to level up the Steward skill by keeping your party well fed, happy, and paid. This takes time to increase, but by ensuring you look after your troops, you'll soon be able to field a larger army.

In order to command your army, first press the numerical key associated with the squad. This will then allow you to give them orders with the function keys. Pressing the function keys for movement, changing the direction they're facing, and the troop's formation, will bring up a second menu of options.

Weakest is probably sturgia followed by battania. I agree but it's because of terrain, not anything special about their army composition. The Vlandians and Khuzait tend to dominate just because they're on the edge of the map and have land that's easy to traverse.

- Max troops limit is 10000 for clan parties and main party.

The current soft cap for skills is 330 with 10 attribute points and 5 focus points. It is possible to reach a higher number by gaining a single instance of high XP (eg. trading for a very large profit), by cheating or using mods that increase the minimum skill gain. The hard cap is 1023.

The F6 function give command of all your troops to the AI. Your army composition affect how the AI gonna command your troops. they alway gonna make 2 groups of cavalry for cover each flank and charge horse archer who come close or when hostilities between infantry/archer begin.

The only way to raise your limit is by upgrading your clan tier. Each upgrade comes with an extra companion slot, eventually reaching a maximum of eight companions.

High ground is essential as well as taking firing arcs into account, as your shots will drop considerably on their way to the target. However, if you score a long distance shot you'll get bonus experience, so it's worth risking that shot if you have plenty of ammo.

If you don't fancy recruiting any of them as troops, then the simplest way to deal with your prisoners is to ransom them. Head to the biggest town nearby and you'll find a tavern where you can ransom some or all of the prisoners you have, in exchange for gold.

How to target enemy formation in Bannerlord? ›

Using Charge or Engage orders, you can now choose between general attacks and prioritizing a specific enemy formation as a target. This is done by simply looking at enemy formations and issuing the order when their icon is highlighted. The Charge order has your units individually rush towards the fight.

Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord is set on the fictional continent of Calradia, 173 years before Mount & Blade: Warband, during the decline of the Calradic Empire and the formation of the predecessors of the factions that appear in Warband.

From the get go, Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord arguably does a far better job of introducing new players to its formidably broad scope than its predecessor, Warband, ever did.

The combat systems in this game are incredibly rewarding and deep, as you'd expect for a medieval simulation of this complexity. That means that you may need a few pointers before you head into the fray, to make sure you keep head on shoulders as you fight for your faction.
