aserai can do anything they just don't necessarily do it especially well. their archers are fantastic and their heavy infantry are good, but their normal cavalry are just ok and their 2h/shock infantry are mostly just sort of there.

Ohhh ya, I did this and got up to 3 or 4 high $ vandian towns that were close and easy to defend. In the meantime increased my relationship with a bunch of badass lords to get prices down (seemed to work). Then when I went kingdom, I converted a bunch of clans to my kingdom with my high relationship. Something like this, great playthrough!

yeah my basic plan is to borg the southwestern part of the map as much as i can until i run out of companion slots and clan members to do stuff. i didn't realize that all marriages in bannerlord are patrilineal so i lost one of my nieces to that, but whatever. aserai lands are the source of tribal throwing daggers, so i have a wellspring of fine steel to break economies left and right. the aserai themselves don't seem too bothered by me buying up their territory, they've won their last two wars against the khergs and the empire faction on the eastern side. does anyone have experience with clan parties? i'm finding it hard to justify spending people on governing castles, and i'd almost rather give these guys a starter party of 15 cav and horse archers and basically go "best of luck". i have a functionally infinite amount of both because with Partners in Crime, all the mounted pillagers and ravagers from caravan escort missions are one screaming contest away from joining me, and both units have no upgrade pathways at all. i cannot even turn them into regular troopers. i have no idea what they are supposed to do or what their entire deal is though, i get that they kind of act like minor clan parties but frankly i barely see minor clan parties doing anything!

I like going archer for sieges. Lets me snipe fools out of windows (and siege weapons) all day 'erry day while waiting on my dudes to breach the gates. Saves a bunch of my guys if there's dead archers on the defense that aren't peppering us with arrows. Then I can get up close and swing around like a raving lunatic once we're in. Or get on a siege tower with a polearm and swing away at idiots on the wall for days racking up the kills while helping my forces breach that wall via a sudden and distinct lack of enemies.

Clan parties are great, they're exactly like AI noble parties except if you form an army you can have them follow you around for free so you can basically get more room for troops. You can also just turn them loose and they'll wander around doing the same things an AI noble would do. Their troop wages come out of your money and if they make money by selling loot that goes into your money.

They'll also join other armies which is free influence points. Pretty sure they help with renown as well.

The benefits from having a good governor aren't that great compared to extra "free" troops. Iirc my last game I had basically two people I used to install as governors with all the +loyalty poo poo I could manage to stabilize towns and moved them around as needed, plus as much stewardship as possible, and everyone else got assigned to lead roaming parties. I think I used two of my kids for the latter so I could rig their upbringing. Eventually I got enough influence rolling in that I didn't need to create all-clan armies, but it took awhile and it was nice to be able to provide everyone with a core of elite troops to give them an edge over the enemy.

Oh just because it took me like 200 hours to realize it you don't get the daily bonus from settlements (festival, train militia, etc) if you have any building being built. Makes it very easy to stabilize captured cities and castles.

The time you spend not building anything but instead running the daily short-term project is more than made up for in the long run. Get your loyalty up as high as possible in all of your cities. It's worth it. Imo, it eventually becomes worth it to have a companion of each culture you're planning on conquering with high stewardship and leadership just to be a regional governor to regularly boost loyalty or speed up construction in an emergency. Bonus, high stewardship means that after you're done you have someone who can run a decent party after you're done stabilizing all those territories. Good use for a kid if you're at war with your former culture.

Tree Bucket posted:Good post. This line here is the one I've been wondering about most, considering how badly balanced a lot of bannerlord stuff is. Dump food in, dump cash in, cancel all building projects. Hang around until the loyalty is ~50 and you're good. E: oh, once the loyalty is high enough, switch to militia for a while. Also remember to cap your garrison cost at something reasonable like ~1k per day. Resolve issues for Merchants not Artisans because they pay better and are better for city growth. Don't do anything for the Gang Leaders because that will reduce your security. Prioritize Festival Grounds, followed by Workshops. Barracks aren't useful because typically you won't want to hit the cap, so ignore that. Walls can be helpful, but Siege is more helpful.

Fun little thing about settlements and food. If you're planning on sieging a settlement you're not currently at war with, buy all their food first. That way they start starving the second you set the camp up.

Yeah that's fine and 100% of the mods that I installed are labeled that way, but they are greyed out and I can't select them to enable. Besides the single Improved Garrison mod which is the #5 most subscribed mod on steam, yet still has the red exclamation point. What I'm wondering is why I can't enable any of the others.
