So you want to know how to play the Kingdom of Rhodoks huh? I got you covered.
Step 1: Join the Green Team✔️
Step 2: Form your Sharpshooter Squad ✔️
Step 3: Master Pike and Shot ✔️
Step 4: Never leave your castle ✔️
Step 5: Become Siegelord ✔️
Step 1: Join the Rhodoks. Duh.
Step 2: Go hard into recruiting and training an elite core of crossbowman. Don't neglect your infantry line either. Having a strong front-line of spear-man and sergeants will help protect and give your crossbowman maximum time to deliver their loads all over the enemy.
Step 3: Place your infantry in front of your ranged. Stay in your spawn, hold a hill, or defend against a river crossing and you'll win virtually every battle (at least if you're me).
Step 4: Bait siege defenses that your army specializes in. Easily defeat larger armies and reap the rewards.
Step 5: Now that you have become an expert in Rhodok warfare you can easily lay waste to any castle or town. Your Rhodok Sharpshooters will outclass nearly all ranged units and your Sergeants will thrive in close quarters siege combat. Enjoy conquering Calradia!

My favorite part of warband is still how bloody your character can get during the battles, if you kill enough people you just become R E D.
I mean blood for the blood god right
and skull for skull throne
@@marcellinoleopatria4101 did you bring milk for the khorne flakes papa khorne said he was going to get some
@@arandomguardsmen We might require Corn for the PopKhorne
You feel so badass after wetting your character in a blood bath
To receive Warband content in 2022...now that's the true blessing. Thank you.
A lot of people have realized that Bannerlord is just... not as good. It's been two years and it's kind of just slowed to a crawl. Meanwhile, you can mod the shit out of Warband, and it's a more complete package to begin with. It'd be nice to just get Warband with Bannerlord's engine.
@@amergingiles I agree absolutely. I was a pretty much day-one purchaser of Bannerlord; after so many years waiting I jumped on it. To date I have...80 hours in the game, and I don't feel the urge to continue. Its such a strange difference. The modding scene is a powerful bonus to Warband, some of the overhauls are just incredible. I've played Prophecy of Pendor for hundreds of hours and loved it. Here's to hoping that Bannerlord can one day meet our expectations.
@@amergingiles the combat is more fun to me, but besides that yeah. i found myself going back to warband strictly for the mods lol
@@camabaseplate2900 That's good to know. I'm still going to let it bake, maybe until Prophecy of Pendor 2 comes out, heheheh.
@@Davion197prophesy of pendor is glory the best mod ever 😂
attacking Rhodoks is like stepping a foot in Detroit
Then why in my playtrough vaegirs just ate them right away in every battle (tbh the sieges were pain in the ass)
@@niggacockball7995 Almost in every game, if one power gets molly-wopped early, they don't really have the strength early game tonight back
@@niggacockball7995 wait what? The vaegirs is one with the most "wiped out first" in my playthroughs
@@niggacockball7995maybe because you're the player
I love how the Rhodoks hate so much the Swdians that their weapons and tactics are made just to fight them, pikes to kill their horses and crossbows to penetrate their armors... imagine all the things they could do if only there were guns in warband
Swadians would have an air force then.
One word S N I P E R S
Imagine all the things you could do with guns: ... shot people?
@@JonatasAdoM and rodhoks AA weaponery
@@Redraven313 yeah, the castles should have MG42s on the walls
These are no mindless Swadians. These are Rhodoks. Their armor is thick and their shields broad.
Who you callin mindless Swadian??
Your strong crossbows and your great military tactics
Make everyone who attacks them mad
Yep, they do have a lot in common with the Uruk-Hai. They have pikes, they have crossbows, they have cleavers, they have big shields and they hate a neighbouring nation of horsemen
@@ervandolfo hahahshshshsh
*Rhodoks: "We don't have the horses to outrun you,* *but you'll still never be able to catch us."*
"You talking alot of shit for someone in crossbow range, Swadian"
First faction I ever played in the og M&B. Still loyal to it
My first was swadia
@@itorca My first was Khergit yeah I still regret it to this day
@@thatlat5831 my first fief was on the borders of swadia and khergit khanite lol
@@itorca I enjoyed Khergit then I got to the sieges and my god the sieges also that is probably a great fief if you were swadia
@@thatlat5831 it was great 👍where was your first fief?
The scariest thing about the rhodoks is with a small strategy of having your infantry in from 20 or so paces and your archers behind you can take on forces 5 times your size. I had got caught by the Swadian army as a merc and had to battle them where it was 400 troops vs my 100. Half nord infantry the other half rhodock crossbows. Using the shield wall strategy we won the battle even with only about 20 dead and 50 injured. That was when I realized I could build an army to conquer the whole land.
Swadian knight spam is also busted
@Cullen Pinney it was the satsuma rebelion the samurai charged beceuse they where out of ammo so went last resort. They rebbeled beceuse their power was being stript away by the emperor. Samurai always used guns even before the 19th century in the 16th Century the peak period for samurai most of them used guns. When they opend after the edo period they quickly adopted new western costums and guns.
I once abandoned mass hordes of infantry and tried to become a Swadian equivalent to a Steppe Lord, I had a lot of Horseback Swadian Knights, but since I also mainly operated in defense of Halmar, a city the King gifted me, I was supplementing losses with Khergit and Sassanid Horsemen who get horses very early in their progression tree. We were wiping armies several times our size, I even captured the Khan at one point, but eventually we got caught too deep into enemy land and I could not make up for the losses of Elite Swadian Cavalry. Had to run, and thanks to no help from fellow vassals, we lost Halmar.
Nah I just spam cavalry. Unless I want something specific to throw in my towns, I only spec into cavalry and just charge and I usually come out with like 5 injured AT MOST. Its so strong
just take vaegir knights, they destroy all
Weakest Rhodok vs Strongest Sarranid
I agree that the most crucial step in playing Rhodoks, and any other faction in fact, is to murder and humiliate Sarranids.
Damn Saracens...
*Swadians
The sarranids are not exactly,, just going to be sitting down, doing nothing,,, their archers are one of the best in the game,, and their cavalry Is the best in the game,, try at least playing on normal difficulty,, and see what a mean,, but if you play with easy settings,, you can shitt on everything in the game...
@@thesonsofliberty6205 enough Swadian kinighys and rhodok sharpshooters can take on any Sarraind force, even on normal
@@nickmaroni2289 I'm saying that you should play on normal difficulty at least,, to experience the true, power of any unit,,, even looters and other bandits ,, can mess you up ,, pretty good or slaughter you if you are not careful,, no matter what you are wearing or level you In,, most of the time , it makes no difference... Let alone going against.. an army of master archers and mamlukes...
Like i dont care crossbows lose in a 1 v 1 vs archers because of the fire rate. You know what archers cant do? Use all their arrows in a siege and instead of retreating to replenish you charge in melee. Thats why Rhodoks to me are the best, huge shield, very strong one handed. And straigh up headshotting full armor knights. - This post was posted by Rhodok Gang
Wait you can survive more than one battle? - random vaegir knight
@@ceoofwarcrimes4600 No Vaegir hate on my watch. Vaegir STRONK!
40 swadian knights can kill any force of rhodoks. Rhodok crossbows basically just flick a fully armored knight and do nothing.
@@lettuce5931 increase difficulty
@@Breach-Clear 106 percent difficulty check
"Let there be death to the crossbows of mighty Rhodoks, none shall escape the rain of green fury, for Graveth and his heirs!"

"For the Republic!"
*Sarranid Envoy:* "My, that field of wheat outside your lord's castle sure is lush, and thick with crops. How did you manage that this early into summer? Why, I can't even see the ground from this far out from all the stalks." *Rhodok Escort:* "That's a field of Swadian knights full of bolts, not stalks of wheat you sand-eyed, lilly-livered camel's arse."
I love how after all these years, after Bannerlord came out- After so much- There are still SO many Warband shitposts all over the place and they're still coming out fresh, it's amazing and I love this community.
If I ever had a recurrent nightmare amd I'm not saying I have one it would be trying to conquer a rhodok castle as a Kerghit character
Lancers are op
Using the weakest faction in siege attacks against the strongest in siege defense surely a pain in the ass
@@demonguy5082 It must be like using a sword to fight a professional sniper
As any faction it's pain
Been there done that. It was mostly everyone dying and me vs an entire castle, taking potshots at Rhodoks for an hour until i ran out of arrows. Damn those green hill goblins!
Sarranid: "we rule the world with our mamluke knights 😎" Rhodok:"hold my pike"
Rather: "Catch my crossbow bolt!"
Bitch please the mamlukes would literally tear them to pieces
"Hold my pike... I am taking the crossbow"

Again😂😂
There are three factions left

@@serduk8293 two*
"Do you know the definition of insanity?" Yes, sieging a Rhodok city or castle with only 800 men, to few.
if you siedge a rhodok castle, have at least an adventage of 9 to 2
AFTER ALL THOSE YEARS. IT'S FINALLY HERE.
Radyoaktif baklava mmmm
@@Furkani hmmmm
@@McGercekBaklava hmm maybe i will make Rhodoks cavalary
I love the Rhodoks man... Masters of defensive warfare and rebelled against the Vlandians to form their own kingdom.
Only thing I don’t like about the rhodoks is that they rebelled so they could be free, just so that one of the generals could crown himself king and then book, another faction😂
@@emmanuelhernandez396 well they got their own king now though.
As a Vaegir in my current playthrough, I fuckin hate sieging y'all Crossbow spam from a fuckin castle or town wall Not only that, the fuckin Swadians declared war on us AFTER I, Lord Judath, finished our campaign with the Nords (At least the Khergits are on our side, fighting y'all Rhodoks so I can focus on the Swads)
@retardgaming2089 Rhodoks castles are extremely difficult to take. Plus Seargents on the wall, they are hard to kill in defensive formation. You need to bring some Huscarls along to break thru their lines on the wall lol
@@BamMatt19 Forgor to reply but here's a 2 days worth of update Fuck y'all, Rhodoks boutta take the L, y'all only get 1 castle and Veluca left Just as you said, I made a 200+ army of Huscarls for the purpose of castle and town taking As for the Swadians, L bozos, half of their empire got eaten
Mount: "Our horses will trample you" Blade: "We'll fight in the phalanx then"
Swadians and Rhodoks, essentially
At last, we get the best faction guide
Best part of the rhodoks... you go full melee, completely disregard their greatest strength, and they still dominate because their sergeants and pikes are so fucking strong.
Great to have found another M&B youtuber! Your editing makes you stand high to the likes of Simo and Koifish
How many crossbows do you need ? Rhodoks : *loads crossbow* all of them.
I'm so glad that someone is still making these kind of mount&blade videos! :D Thanks a lot! :')
I'm from Russia but your videos are nice to watch even without knowing English. quality editing, there is humor. though some memes are not clear to some foreigners.
Thanks for video
“Your up against the wall and I am the fucking wall” -rhodok sergeant
Man this editing is amazing, not overdone and you are able to actually see the jokes you are making with the edits unlike other videos of this style
I always liked the sergeant Rhodok full armor, I hope we can see it in Bannelord with a mod. Do not forget the step 5, is very important. Nice video°!
That quick burnout kill on the horseman was beautiful.
It makes me Happy that after years and even after second game of the mount and blade have released warband still got a gamer communitie.
The amount of effort put into this vid is tremendous. Well done good sir.
Amazing as always! I really laughed with the "Swadian knights get ready to charge"!!!
I can only imagine how much time making this has consumed. But I love the montage soo much!
“Don’t forget to take the Coriolis effect into account” OK BUT IT ACTUALLY FEELS LIKE THAT WHEN YOU LAND A FAR DISTANCE SHOT
This was so good! No idea people were still making warband content like this
The bit in that video the really got me was either the part with the Nobel being de-horsed and saying help or the sound of you hitting metal when shooting in the siege. Both got me on the lols
The whole thing was probably good, but what I liked most here is how Swadian knights had their theme on when charging.
I love these vids best types of videos in my opinion where there is alot of memes and edits into it yeah its short but it makes ur day
The long awaited How to play is here 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Holy shit i wasnt expecting a burnout 3 takedown cam. Great video man!
This video is such a masterpiece it's unbelievable!
Crossbow army is the best strat
A game that will never get old...
That throwback to burnout 3 got me good
A warbaned video and with Savimbis Pride?! What an excellent way to start 3 in the morning
Mate Your vids ARE AWESOME also try Playing with the Battlesizer Mod it makes you choose how many Units will be available on the battlefield
I needed this...thanks my man
Wow, Guiden, great moves, keep it up
high quality meme material. Much apprecaited.
Please do more Warband! It’s such a classic!
dude this editing made me lough so much. good job
10/10 video King, keep it up
1st time seeing your videos, loved it
Rhodoks were the first faction i played with when i first started Warband. I didn't know what the hell i was doing and learning the game at 100% damage and no saves was HARD. After so, so many hours of playing, I had finally gotten to *that* point of being good... our kingdom had taken over half of Calradia and we were at war with the Khergits. I had a force of about ~120 sergeants and pro crossbowmen and we found the Khan roaming around with 800(!) troops - or rather, he found us. It was an open field battle and 800 horsemen with the luxury of a bow's distance would make quick work of us... But we were lucky. There was a modest hill in the middle and we made our stand there. Sergeants forming a ring around the crossbowmen at the top, the kills were coming in at an astronomical rate. Holes were poked through the lines and we lost almost 100 men... But we made it. An infantry-only force defeated a superior cavalry-only force by the skin of our teeth. This happened over 10 years ago at this point and I still remember it. One of the best video game moments of my life.
I hear the Retribution OST from Thronebreaker in the middle section of the video. You have good taste.
Lyria is famous for its world-class Arbalests after all
One of my first wb memories is holding a castle with 60 ish rhodoks sergeants and crossbowmen with a few norse against like 600 sassanids. We lost after killing like 400 of them. Once the crossbows were out of ammo we kind of had to just concede the walls and fight in one of the little shacks on the walls which the long spears were perfect for.
I Allied with the rodoks in my first playthrough because Green is my favorite color, and chose randomly between making crossbowmen and sargents. And hell, i had a lot of fun.
4:10 Is what a good leader looks like
Thats some good thronebreaker music fam. Retribution is lit.
This reminds me my experience rhodoks are my favorite this is perfect
the burnout 3 reference and bo2 music were elite
Hearing the sounds of a crossbow volley is music to my ears.
Yo your editing is priceless 35 seconds in subbing now
never forgetti, the famous polygon grapes of Final Fantasy
I'm glad I'm not the only one still playing Warband
Cheers to the most fun game to play with crossbows
I still play it to this day. An amazing game ever made.
Swadia : "Noooo! You can't just slaughter noble knights in armor like turkeys!" Rhodok : "Haha, crossbow goes twang."
First time i got warband i joined the swadians, immediately changed to rhodoks after besieging one of their castles, seeing crossbowmen mow down knights and my missiles having no effect because of their shields. I knew they were my faction
oh my god its finally here praise u guiden
Great there are still people creating content for this game
I must be the only guy to double take at the endwalker grapes meme at the beginning lmao good vid
I remember in my first and best playthrough, I had 200 sharpshooters, handful of sergeants and some mercenaries. I was a rogue king with one castle but I was dominating all challengers. The playthrough ended with conquering the Sand Boys, Khergits and Rhodoks and I started a new game.
My favourite part was the burnout 3 takedown meme, this is beautiful
This is work of art 👌
RHODOK GANG
Yes!
Crossbow, horse shield and sword, best combo possible for you as a player
Never thought I'd see the day there was a Berleezy reference in a Mount & Blade video. ... Now we gotta get him to play it.
Best edit ive ever seen
Always a fan when oblivion music is used!
Yeah, that's how you play the rhodoks CROSSBOW
0:35 that percussion with the menu buttons kills me 😂😂😂
Great edit
great usage of throne breaker theme
True beauty. Shot and pike.
Rhodoks is my favorite faction specially the pike is my number one weapon
Me too
Fort Bless, the Burnout meme
Blast from my childhood, right there
Watching this makes me want to play M&B2 again!
When I first played mount and blade I choose the green team and after 3 days of casually playing turned half of the map green as swadia was practically almost extinct and while that was happening rhodak was fighting 3 wars and somehow we managed to keep all 3 at stalemates
Please keep going
Some thing's i like more in warband. Like the clan colors and tunic displaying it. And ofc I WILL DRINK FROM YOURE SKULL!
Holy shit, this was beautiful. Rhodok crossbow supremacy for sure. The most relatable part was saving the village from bandits, just to turn and plunder them
These videos are like a fever dream
That clink sound at 5:38 was hilarious.
bro well done the edit is amazing 🤣🤣🤣
It's crossbow harvesting season 🥰
belligerent drunk is the final boss of mount & blade
Beligerant Drunk is the best final boss ever!
Loved it!
Just asking, but do you plan to do these kinds of vids for Viking Conquest also?
