Mount and Blade?

Knight Kauser

Anyone here play mount and blade?

And just a show of hands, how many of you plan to play bannerlord competitively when it comes out? Provided they allow private servers…

@Knight-Kauser I’ll be getting bannerlord but playing it competitively completely depends on how For Honor turns out for me.

For honor will be long dead by then. The devs of bannerlord said at max 6 years for bannerlord on console (read it on their forums).

@Knight-Kauser I played M&B but the multiplayer side sucked once everyone quit playing. I’d happily play again if they would make it to where Co-op campaigns were a thing. (Nord army + Rhodok army = unstoppable)

I loved M&B till it died on console

Why would you ever even need 1 Rhodok? Just fill up your army with Nord Huscarls xD

becauae Nords don’t have any type of Calvary (neither do Rhodoks I know) but the cross bow men can tear a Calvary unit apart with the huscarls protecting them until the Calvary gets there.

Or you could do a Swadian knight and Huscarl army >:)

@Patriotize To be honest, Cavalry isn’t difficult if you have 50-60 Nord Huscarls. Cavalry gets teared apart by those Huscarls, trust me. I destroyed the Khergit Khan who had 300 + men with just 70 Nord Huscarls :D

Well, tbh khergit khan suck ass. They just ride away on horses shooting you. Takes forever to win against those pansies. Swadian knights and Saradin Mamelukes are much more of a challenge

@Patriotize True that, true that… Khergit Lancers aren’t too bad either xD

Knight Kauser

Swadians and Vaegirs vs Rhodoks and Nords

Who would win???

Swadians: Best Calvary, Great infantry, Ok Xbows
Vaegirs: Decent Cab, Decent infantry, Best archers

vs

Rhodoks: Great Infantry, Best Xbows, no cav
Nords: Best infantry, Decent archers, no cav

Depends where the fight is imo

Pitched battles in open fields: Swadians and Vaegirs have it
Siege: Nords and rhodoks will decimate attacking and defending

Knight Kauser

Imo the lack of cav can be bad. Infantry are great and all but one big charge from a flanking force of Swadian Knights will break any infantry line if they know what their doing. Only argument you can make is the fact the rhodoks have spearman. Would be interesting though… Also keep in mind the superman don’t get shields…

King Midas

Swadian knights all you need and I have proven that many times. Bannerlord honestly won’t feel like the M&B we’ve come ta love but I do know that For Honor won’t be dead and here is why. For Honor has so much hype behind it which makes games run longer and the fact that the game is very well made. The skill of a player does matter and I’ve became way better since me and Homura fought on For Honor. So people will love to try to become the best they possibly can.

C4KE from SP4C3

Swadian Knights, Nord Huscarls, Rhodok Sharpshooters, Vaegir Marksman and Sarranid Mamlukes are probably the best combination to have on the battlefield, but when you’re putting troops into a garrison of your castle, I’d go for Nord Huscarls and just Huscarls since they are the heaviest melee around. About 80 Huscarls should counter anything in a castle :D

King Midas

@C4KE-from-SP4C3 Ahh I’m sorry to say this but Swadians can literally beat huscarls on foot which is why you need only Swadian knights.

Are you sure about that? Swadian Knights are the best Cavalry, but are completely useless on foot. Hence why Swadian Knights aren’t useful for defending a castle. Nord Huscarls are the best infantry.
