How To Capture your FIRST CASTLE Solo in Bannerlord Easily!

A sneaky thing you can do if you have enough money is buy all of the food in a town before you siege it. The game takes that into account and it causes them to starve much faster.

I have like 300 hours in this game and didn't know you could just put your siege equipment into reserves and deploy them all at once. Learning something new every day, trebuchet superiority here I come.

Quick tip: dont make a kingdom right away. "KINGDOMS CAN ONLY DECLARE WAR ON KINGDOMS". If you get a town from rebellion, just sit on it and dont make a kingdom right away and watch as no one will ever declare war on you. But this doesnt let you become a mercenary anymore as mercenaries cant have fiefs. You can pledge as a vassal or just focus on building infrastructure and get rich first before making a kingdom to sue for peace with 2-3 other kingdoms while you focus on 1 specific weaker kingdom. Then you start snowballing this and go for world conquest.

Seiges are easily one of my favorite things about this game. I just love the chaos and desperation of defending a castle with 300 troops against 900 or more.

One important thing to note the daily activity is only done if your town is not currently doing a project. If you're doing a project the activity won't happen and you'll still lose loyalty if you're depending on the festival to keep your loyalty up

Just a PSA for everybody skip the ram, ballista, and catapult. Build 4 trebs and then let it rain on them until the walls are gone. Your troops will annihilate the garrison because they can just walk through crumbled walls vs being funneled through the gate or single file ladders

My method.. work as a merc. Attack target and take it for the faction that hired me. Then quit that faction and attack the weakened target. This way i am behind lines of a faction that is hostile to the faction i attacked.

With strong armour and a bow you can solo a town or castle, Just attack as soon as possible then get your army to retreat, The infantry comes out to attack you, draw them away from the castle and then ride quickly inside and close the gates, climb the nearest tower and kill any archers there, At the top will be a barrel of arrows for infinite refills and then start taking everyone down.

Fun tip, based on this particular siege scenario. Before attacking, you could have taken the time to build multiple trebuchets and not only destroy the enemies siege weapons, but their walls as well. This way less troops are killed on the ladders and from enemy siege fire, as well as making the battering ram redundant.

You can actually take down the walls to make sieging easier if you let your trebuchet and catapults attack the walls after dealing with their catapults

I really wish you could make alliances in this game. Would help not having 4 factions declare war on you, by being friendly to some of them.

Great video,well explained and made simple.....tip:at 4:50 ....insted of manualy add the money for the negotiation for "peace whit Vlandia" you can clck on the round "shake hands" icon on the top at that window....the game will then add the right sum of money for you.....also you dont need to have enough money....items in your inventory can be used as well....like horses,armor,weapons and so on.

Upload it three minutes ago this is the fastest video I’ve ever clicked of yours. keep up the good work, I’m loving the continent❤

Thank you so much, you just got a new subscriber and your sound is so smooth its like listening to a very good teacher. thanks for the tips.

Amazing video! Ive played when it was in early access, and never was able to take a castle. Your video was amazing and so cinematic! Loved the siege! I have to reinstall and start grinding again, it looks amazing!

I feel like the 'get a castle/town' stage could be alleviated if every mercenary clan start off with a castle, a town, and their assortment of villages somewhere nestled in among the rest. Not only does it display a bit of cultural/structural divide within the factions, it'd also give a player a springboard to take their own castle or town to build a kingdom from there, and easier access to the mercenary clan troops, while still allowing that mercenary clan to exist like they do now without any fiefs (plus you'd be able to wage war against them specifically without waging war against whichever faction they are working for )

Would love to see you delv into Old Realms... thats a fun one great video btw

Lol I love how Svana is fighting the people of the settlement in which she was born pretty funny and hilarious at the same time

Actually, you should make trebuchets and move them to reserve until they're all built. Then, deploy them all at once. They will destroy all the enemy siege weapons. Optionally, you can destroy the walls. This will make the settlement really easy to take.

Thank you. You explained a lot and we're actually enjoyable to watch
