Dang it, now i have to restart the game again lol....meow
What’s funny/sucks is when you kit up all of your companions but then have to face them during every single tournament😂😂.
You still get the stuff if they win though
The number of times I've had to join of bunch of lesser men to help beat my wife is TOO DAMN HIGH
@@nope2603 Ira is a MONSTER though lol
They don't seem to have objections to taking all there kit off them, before a tourny. Not sure I would be so appreciative of my boss giving me a dangerous job, then insisting I hand over anything of use.
@@LordInter especially when she's decked out in full Warlord Scale and antsy after having a third child
You can reset your perks and companion's perks by visiting the arena. Costs gold but you can change the perks without cheating.
What?! Holy shit this is great news!
Yea, it was added very recently (like 1.9 I think), which is why I.S. probably didn't know about it. One of my favorite recent changes to the game
ah nice one thx I just started playing again thats dam handy to know
Yes, Strat said this before in his guide. So here I was like: What? That is not true, you can reset companion perks! But it is an awesome addition to the game. And useful video anyway.
Legend
Quick tip: at least try to get your own medicine skill to 25 because you will get the perk that would allow you to recover 30% of your lost HP after winning a battle. This is essential if you want to fight in battle more often and not delegate too much.
I prefer to reach at least 75 on my characters so I can pick up the extra 5 max health
i always level to 275. try it once, and you'll never not again. it will transform caravan guards to elite cataphracts not to mention you can take 5 battles in a row (not just yourself but the entire army) never win a battle to be caught by a lame 100+ army noble
Thank you
How do you lol up healing?
@@johndymond4596 Rest in town with wounded troops, rather than travelling around. At the first few levels, you can join the fights with looters and rest after taking some damage (preferably less than 80% of your HP) and rest in a nearby town.
No jeremus, no party.
I agree.
Companions were so much more fun in Warband. Alayen could become a wargod who could slay half an army by himself. The companions in Bannerlord have more utility, but they are irrelevant in combat.
@@EdgeSanityGaming Almost irrelevant, if you make them strong they can outmatch most troops
Jeremus knocked out
Jeremus the best! 😂
For companion parties I choose steward, medicine and tactics in that order. When picking companions also remember character level, Aseri engineer might be better but is level 12 or 13 where the Khzuait knowing is only level 10. So if you want one out of the box and rdy to go then take, but if your spending a little time building them up check for level 10 or 11's.
FLESSON HAS SPOKEN!
Also, every wanderer has a character profile, meaning if he/she is merciful and you raid a village, he/she will aproach you (informing you that you did something they didnt like) and if he is merciful, he is not going to like it, leading to even abandon your party. I think this is really important to be aware of.
I do wish it was a little more strict when it comes to companion personalities and personalities in general, I think I remember in Warband they would fight amongst themselves if their personalities didn't match. So you would have to make sure you have them doing separate stuff.
you should be able to gift them things like in warband to help with the relationship dilemas
Yup and the opposite of that is true too. Flee or show mercy will make them leave if they are opposed to that, I lost two from this.
I've found another way to level up a companion's steward, medicine, engineering, and scout skills to be to make them a party leader. Even if they ultimately get captured when fighting some enemy party, just remake them a party leader after they are freed. You also do not have to give them any troops at all when you start them out. Just drop them off at a town or village by themselves, then make them a party leader. They'll go about recruiting their own troops before doing anything, which also increases their leadership skill.
That's amazing, I had no idea. Thank you bro.
idk why more people don’t do this, you can easily get 5 parties of companions by early to mid game which you can call to your army for *free* essentially making your party size like 600++ (if you can afford it)
Zero influence to add them into your army too
Great to see the Bannerlord content killing it for you sir! Been enjoying these guides myself, keep up the great work!
than k you brother!~!! we much gingerly touch tips soon!!
Great guide, this helps out a lot. Thanks for taking the time to make it.
Good Lord… LOL this game is intimidatingly complex. it took me probably 12 hours to get to a point where I have maintained a party for longer than half an hour and I actually have a little bit of money ahead. The thought of getting an entire kingdom seems absolutely impossible right now. Thank God for these videos sir!
Great video! You even shared the spreadsheet. Awesome!
Your channel has been the most helpful, man you put the time in I hope you get something out of this honestly great game
Nice to see my boy Strat getting a shoutout from a bigger KZheadr
If only i was so dedicated to watch 1 hour long videos shown in excel about how to get richer/better in real life, as i am dedicated to watch video games "know how", ooh man...! Good video man, i learned some things from it, like balancing the stats of a companion for other roles is really important if you wish to have good overall warband! Also the perks being personal/party leader/governer and etc and when they being used! Thanks!
My spicevendor is the worst caravan I have. Never a return in profit and constantly getting captured if I'm acting as a mercenary. But my caravans that have no trade skill but high riding and scouting never get caught and constantly return $500+ a day.
I remember someone saying that a year ago, about getting someone with high scouting, instead of trade. It works well enough if they are quick enough. They can see threats before they become a threat.
@@bobholly3843 I didn't follow it much back then due to being a console peasant. But that's my thought as well. She also has the impulsive and devious personality traits, though. I'm not sure if those have any affect even though it sounds like they should, lol. I've watched my vendors with scouting and riding avoid enemy armies pretty easily but I've seen the spicevendor ride into an enemy armies.
Should have leveled her scouting before sending her off. With no scouting she doesn't see threats until it's too late. Might be better not to be a mercenary or make her a scout in your party until her scouting is 50+
@@kylelinder5353 that's what I ended up doing. I bought enough caravans and workshops to cover my party wages and then stopped being a mercenary until she levels her scouting. I'm just using this time to work smiting and run bandit missions.
Scouting can be leveled up quickly, trade goes up fairly quickly aswell. But riding on the other hand takes forever. Best way to level riding is in combat but the AI is stupid and it takes patients. like watching your companion taking 15 minutes to kill 3 looters on horseback type patients. Thats why its best too use a companion with decent riding from jump.
there is another aspect to the companions you forgot to mention. They have personality traits. Weirdly enough, the negative traits don't seem to do much (maybe not fully implemented? Oversight on the devs side). But the positive ones can ruin your day - merciful characters will raise a storm every time you raid, execute people or attack villagers, generous ones will riot if you don't pay your troops, honorable gets upset if you flee from battle and so forth...
The positive and negative traits will start to impact you when you make them your vassals and the like. It becomes part of the reputation, and it can make it more difficult to keep cities you have conquered in the future if you make someone with those traits the owner of a conquered city, especially if you are of a different culture. Positive traits make good vassals, especially if they are generous and honorable. It makes it more stressful, because the traits are an indicator of who you should give your cities to when it is time to build your kingdom, especially if you want to expand into other cultures. I've had cities rebel because I focused purely on ability and ignored the traits.
I just learned so much about companions. Pure gold.
this was very helpful because i just got my first fief and I was stressing out about companions thank you very much.
thank you ItalianSpartacus. next maybe best gear for each category and faction?
Thanks for the videos ItalianSpartacus
Thanks for this great video. Now I have to start over again 😃😃👍
Love The Ill-Starred companion. Comes with high endurance and decent smithing. Can be leveled up to 275+ smithing and able to creat legendary weapons (when endurance reach 7 with smithing 5). Also great melee fighter! With high endurance can use both horse and on foot.
Didnt play the game in years and watched the whole video like spellbound. Well pace and nice voice to follow
Thanks for the guides mate, I think they may be a little out of date because of updates. Wastes, Hills and some others were on there when I searched. I could also be because I’m playing on console. None the less they are a great help for a deep game.👍
Awesome info in this! Thanks
You also have to bear in mind focus point distribution when considering how you are able to level up and improve companions
this video helped me so much thank you it was awesome
Oh, I think it's nice to have a backup healer, or several, so your tip of working towards future governors is great for that too. And might be nice to have family members as solid governors.
good to see a fellow 40k fan here :D good video
I learned that if you hire a companion who just spawned into the game, you get to set ALL of his/her attributes and focus points, while their starting lvl remains unchanged. You can see an example of this when you do the Family Feud quest. The guy that's added to your party for the duration of the mission will have all his points unset if you check as he spawns in. It's not something to aim for, but you can get lucky, so always check your companion stats immediately after hiring! Als thanks for the great Bannerlord content!
Something i feel is missing in this guide is the attention to their level as it heavily influences growth potential. For instance at 30:05 Dispossessed and horsethief have very similar stats, however dispossessed is one level lower, meaning you will have more focus and attribute points to allocate to relevant locations instead of them having been 'wasted' on irrelevant things. Especially in this situation where Dispossessed is about to reach lvl 16 and getting an attribute point. Now they both have 130 riding but if they have let's say 4 AP in endurance both, after the next level you can make it 5 AP in endurance for Dispossessed and their riding skill will very quickly get higher than the Horsethief one. I generally prefer low level companions so i can develop them myself. Regarding governors, that could be an entire video on its own as there are so many possibilities: governors that focus on loyalty, or prosperity, security and so on. I personally think that governors focussing on garrison are the most op. They can make both infantry and archers 55% cheaper in wage costs and cavalry even up to 75%. With the empire culture you get an additional 20% so cavalry in their garrison would only cost you 5% of the normal wages. You can just pump a city garrison full of elite cataphracts or Khans Guard and it barely costs you anything. Besides big garrisons (either directly or indirectly) lead to higher prosperity, security and loyalty anyway. Another benefit is that they need high combat stats like 1H, 2H, crossbow, polearm and riding, which are easy to train and make them useful captains or even partyleaders until you conquer a city they can govern. That being said, you don't necessarily need companions for that when playing campaign. Your brother, your wife/husband and sister in law can be 3 perfect governors if you select and develop them right.
As with Warband, I love the companion system in this game, but I kinda wish they would lean more into the racial specialisation of them rather than have the Aserai be number 1 at most things. It 100% should be an Aserai companion who's initially the best at healing, but I would argue it should be the Imperial scholar who's the best engineer (Because really, Mongol engineers better than Byzantine? What?). Then equally split the best scout skill between the Khuzait, Battanian, and Sturgian, but have their secondary skills match how those people fight; Scout horse archer, scout 2H and bow, scout 1h and throwing. Then I'd split the best stewards equally between Vlandia and the Empire, and have their secondary skills again match their kingdom's fighting preference too.
its only their initial skills the low level guys generally have more potential since you will gain more attribute points.
I was thinking the same. More choices mean more fun. Funny fact is that Taleworlds Studio is from Turkey and Aserai culture is their representation in the game. Maybe a little flexing here 😀
@@Trickyman26 aserais represent the arabic culture not turkish
@@Trickyman26 aserai are ore Islamic Arabic tribes
@@Trickyman26 I was thinking this just before I read it - thanks for the share.
Thanks for the video, regards Paras
This is my first time playing, I'm on console... After two weekends of playing I'm starting to realize this is going to be a very long game... I started as sturgia. I got my first kingdom, by luck I think. One of the cities was going to be taken, so I decided to join them to help fight. We won with only 45 troops left, and after they decided to vote to give me the castle 🥰 go me.
I didn’t realize companions populated over time maybe it was in an update I missed but some can be generated as a result of quests as well.
To quickly level up your engineer companion just manually assign him to the siege engine and he will rank up from just shooting the trebuchet etc
How do you do It?
Unequip the bow from the companion so he cant shoot and make him captain of an archer group. Reduce the group to just a few guys and place the group near a ballista or catapult when you defend. So when the battle starts hes the only guy that cant shoot himself. He will use a siege engine and with a bit if luck he will kill like 50 guys per siege. Thats how i do it. And it works. Also works for yourself. You spawn on a tower riding your mount 🙃
Very helpful thx for the vids
I like your content, and this us mostly for the algorithm
I have observed in my recent campaign that the trade skill of my caravan leaders hardly ever seems to influence the amount of profit they make, also caravan leaders with higher scouting don't get caught less by the enemy, at least not reliably. It is ultimately down to luck how good a caravan works out. I tend to get as many companions as I can and send them all out with their caravans. I also send out my kids and younger siblings as soon as they can ride and use a bow. Builds character, lol. When you have 9 or 10 caravans going that's when the money really starts coming in.
Its a real shame that there isnt a Sturgian merchant companion. The game suggests that Sturgia is supposed to be a nation of fur-trader merchant princes but none of the characters in game, either generated companions or npc lords, have any character besides being some variety of viking raider or varangian guard
Get one with good Scouting and use them as a caravan leader. Scouting keeps them safe longer, netting them more profit and better trade xp.
@@manicmonarch2608 Scouting then riding, then Trade or invest in trade quickly since most wanderers have low trade. You will lose most companion caravans in a war but if they bring in 300-500 per day and avg 2 months they still net your profit, usually break even around 45 days plus level up skills you'll want as party leaders.
Thaanks a lot for this 🥰
There was a train of thought a couple of patches ago where the best caravan companion would have scout and riding. It was very important to be able to get away from bandits or enemy armies while trading would grow naturaly. Has that changes somehow?
Just found the channel recently, and you absolutely rock. Although I have to ask, are you secretly binging with babish?
This would be another example of... Do as I say, not as I do. Pour this into a ramaken, place into the oven at 350 for 2 hours and enjoy with your roommate as this is another addition to the clean plate club ;)
When giving party roles to companions, the one with the highest skill will always be on the left of the list when you click the role picture
The only things about the vlandian scout is (1) he's pretty old starting in his 40s, so if you get him at the start, he has a decent chance to die in the midgame, and (2) he has so many skills already that he can't grow so fast--he's kinda locked in with what he has. So some cons.
Yo man thanks for the video really helped me out with my campaign, I have a question about the caravan leaders, do i need to equip them with decent armor or does that not matter?
If they end up fighting in a battle, they'll use whatever armor and weapons they have equipped. They should be fighting much less than a party leader with their own army, so equipment wouldn't be as critical.
Your a gent, cheers 🍻
really wish they added variety to the companions, in the sense that they randomize their culture a bit for example the Swordsman not always be Aserai and, sometimes he can be Vlandian or Battanian just to be different on every playthrough. And the companions we have as governors or with a trading caravan should not count twords the limit...
Wish there were more of them period, wanted to do a play through of aserai who joined the vlandian and had 3 men to choose from lol
take over 4 towns or castles and you're going to have to wait months to get them running too
@@LordInter yeah I don’t mind that I mostly use fighting mercenaries for money and trade from aserai vlandian and western empire territories so it’s not that bad I don’t do workshops or caravans until way later
RNG, I've had 8 aserai or empire companions available but only 3 from all the rest
Would be cool if they wrote some history for certain places and like assigned them to companions of that places culture, and it can be procedurally generated, but like so they have backstories and tell you about history and geography
My biggest problem was the companion limited capped by clan levels. You can't properly run a kingdom with so few companions to fill governor and party roles. Meanwhile waiting for my kin to grow up so they xna be assigned to these roles is taking real hours of gameplay, i cant help but feel hamstrung by the clan level cap. I wish they didn't need to cap it based on clan level and just hiked up prices or made companion personality clashes more impactful. Until it gets addressed I'm using the mod that lets you set the new cap, but I wish these issues could be corrected in the vanilla experience.
You can get 1 extra with a charm perk. level 250 Camaraderie
If you upgrade them to vassals can you hire new ones in their place?
@@DIEGhostfish yup
I agree if I assign a companions as gov it should take them out of my list just like when I add troops to a garrison.
My aserai waste character only had bow and athletics that matched this. His 2 handed was 3 and his scout was 76. He was lvl 15. Iv noticed other variations as well from the list.
Learnt a lot from this video
Guys you can re-Spec ANY companion within the game.. Including yourself! It's in the arena, speak to tournament master and select options to fix "bad habits" or whatever they say and you can at any time reset YOUR skills AND companions..! Great video BTW thanks bro!
Yep... And it cost more and more as the game progresses. If i have the money, I quickly go and switch their perks. Their focus and stats cannot be changed tho. So... Family members are still better.
Posting on your most recent vid for visibility but this is a CK3 related question, do you have any videos on time management for beginners? I've just picked up the game on PS5, never played a CK game before but i've watched plenty of playthroughs and guides etc on youtube in the past to try and crack the code, so i've got a broad idea of some of the things you can do. I finished the tutorial, felt reasonably confident i'd taken it all in. I did the recommended opening gambits in terms of securing marriages and getting religious affairs in order, getting the opinion/claim ball rolling etc. But then I was kind of stuck, not really knowing what to do with myself. I realised I have no real concept of how long things should take, how much action/decision making is 'enough' before advancing time. Is there no way around it but to just throw your head at the wall until you can instinctually know when you're 'done' so to speak? Is falling behind through inaction or advancing too fast a thing or am I just paranoid?
Cheers Spartacus
The best companions are family members. You just need to take a lot of time building them up and making marriages happen. Most companions might have good focus allotment, but terrible stat allotment.
With this, how can I get my younger sister married without losing her from my clan?
@@michaeldrummond9644 You don't marry her off. Only marry off female family members to shore up clan support
I think I'll keep her to make a good captain then later a governor...if I marry her off then those babies won't be a benefit
@@michaeldrummond9644 You don't.
Where's Jeremus????????????????????????
i get a battainian surgeon in all of my playthroughs, because their culture is the only one without the merciful trait. I hate to have them complain every time i strategically want to raid villages to weaken the opponent's economy, or lure his troops to me to defend their village.
I'd stress the advantage of low level way more in the first part of the video. Unless you use a mod to reperk, maybe half the perks will be wasted. And characters with many skills across the board will have a high level and no longer advance that fast. So I'd look at the minimum number of wasted skillpoints and perks. But good to know lots of 2H perks can benefit polearm as well (or 1H), I'd normally pick only one of those. Imo one handed goes well with thrown (and shield) and crossbow (as they fire slower). Archers kinda need an extra quiver, so two handed makes more sense. If mounted I loved the glaive (but not sure if it's still good). Btw, if you don't give your companions a ranged option they'll behave as lemmings and might die. But with the captain and partyleader perks, a well rounded character seems best. I'd probably get mods to reperk, so not picking top high level companions may feel less like cheating. 😃
You don't need a mod to Respec, just go to the arena and ask to be retrained.
There is also marriage. If you are playing the campaign ,a spouse for you and your brother is essentially 2 more companions and some of them are very good!
Most excellent :)
Very detailed and helpful video but you might consider recording at a higher resolution. Most of this is somewhat blurred and makes watching very difficult.
It's 1440p brother! :) not sure why it's coming out blurry! I'll look into it
Best spouses next!! 🙌🏻
Easy, the ones with combat skills.
Spartacus, how do you think the caracter trades can influence in the late game? Do they even matter? Besides the perks, I selected my companions based on good / positive trades
The best caravan leaders are the ones with good scouting, not trading. If they don´t have some decent scouting they keep always being easily captured, making you lost the money invested to create the caravans. With good scouting, they can always upgrade their trade skills while they lead the caravans without being easily captured by enemies or bandits.
If you have questions on bannerlord, strat gaming is the best resource I've seen
yes and flesson19
Hey man they changed the stats? My aserai companion if the wastes got 125 bow and 20 two handed
personally i find tracker to be the absolute best horse archer captain because the best horse archers being the khan's guard use bow and polearm, and hawk has 0 in polearm whereas tracker mya have slightly lower bow/riding but he also has high polearm
They very well could have changed this, but did you check if the “better” characters were simply older? It seems like the list isn’t entirely accurate anymore, but generally is still the same character placement - just not the same stats. However what I’m finding is that those top guys are like 41 years old, while you can get someone who’s a little lower all around, but they’re like 22. With how easy it is to level most of their stats, youth is a huge advantage if you know how to build them, it just takes time. It seems like basically right now though, all characters are the same, they just have their own class and get different points into those skills based on how old they are.
My horsed companions get placed with the infantry in battles, kinda annoying. In older version I could assign them a combat group from the Party-screen, how does this work in version 1.0 ?
How do you assign companions to like horse, missile and infantry positions like it is for the older versions of the game. There used to be a shield in the party menu from what I understand you can clik onto and assign them a tier that put them in one of those brackets but was apparently removed in one of the updates which I don't understand why developers would do that.
So does Scouting not matter anymore for party leaders? Especially trade caravans. I thought them being able to see enemies from farther away was beneficial? Pretty sure Flesson did a video on that awhile ago.
Did they recently change the way scouting levels up? I'm on my first playthrough and I have level 86 scouting after the first year in the game. I do not follow tracks or parties. It seems to just level up from wandering the campaign map. It actually seems to level up too fast imo.
I made a Khuzait Outcast my trader. Starts with little to no trade skill. He has never once been successfully ambushed during my campaign. He starts with good leadership, tactics and weapons and riding. The logic is that in the beginning you don't need your traders to be super profitable, you just need them to survive, so your not spending the 15k gold to put them back on the road. The trade skill will eventually get there. I stacked him with some good weapons and armor I got in some arenas and as I said. He has never been successfully ambushed once, through multiple wars and decades of campaign time. His trade is now 240.
Fun fact, recipes on the internet have a bunch of useless personal information because you need a certain number of words to copyright a recipe. So they add useless information to hit the word minimum. Almost like a school assignment
Could you tell me how I can increase leadership skills for the companions. thank you
for party leaders i think leadership isn't important at all, you mainly need a high steward/medicine skill, in general high intelligence
It appears they patched the encyclopedia because I only see 4 companions and the rest are all question marks. So no more hunting down those awesome companions.
Ok, I really liked the video but am I missing something? how do I get the spreadsheet on the video? Sorry 68 years old and not a computer guru with downloading someone else's spreadsheets or seeing a link to one for this video
Hi Charles! There should be a link on the description right below the video! Let me know if that works. If it doesn't, we can try something else :)
@@italianspartacus I downloaded the spreadsheet but it doesn't look like the spreadsheet that is in video, do I need to request edit access? Just would like it to look like what I'm seeing on this video
So I actually see the roles as ways to level up my characters for end game as opposed to what you use them for
Turbo tax commercial really had bro saying “that’s me!” To possibly being the 33 percent that qualify lmao
In tournaments when you watch when your companions fight, they gain skill xp
I'd say the best infantry captain is coalbiter, since he's also one of the only companions in the game to also have smithing.
Great info. Thanks.
Are you going to make one on unit heroes
If you need a money maker the Ill-starred female companions are great, 80 blacksmithing means they can easily get the javelins unlocked for easy cash.
Yeah you can't look up companions anymore unless you have met them
I'm new, but I didn't find Duwain the Golden in the Encyclopedia. Did he get removed or do I need to do something special?
I really hope you tell us how to switch witch companion follows us everywhere. I know it's the first one you recruit but I got a weak scout first but I want my right hand man following me.
In the cities?
I beleive it's just the one highest in your party list. Just try putting your right hand man directly after you in the party list and that should work.

You can give you companion 250+ melee skills and top end gear. When this guy encounters a tier 3 archer in tournament its a 50/50 roll who wins… What helped making named characters viable was the mod heal on kill from steam. I gave ally and enemie heroes 100 life on kill and 100% lifeleech… In open battle and tournaments friend and enemie nobles are now beastmode. They get easily steamroled by numbers but normally the enemie nobles are the last still standing. That saved the characters for me.
So they gain the entire damage done +100?
It would be cool to have some unique companions a la Warband alongside the normal randomly generated bozos
I have a question I can't seem to find the answer anywhere, how do I disband a party, I know how to remove all the units but I'm then stuck with having to allocate a companion to a now dead party...
You are making mistake by not taking charcater levels more into account (I know you mention that near the end but still...). Getting character who is low level is more beneificial in long term as you will be able to mold him more into the role you want him to play better. For example I find Knowing (Khuzait companion that you so readily dismissed as an engineer) to be better than Aserai engineer just because he comes in at a lower level. But again it all depends on if you seeking imediate gains or dont mind waiting a bit. That being said your family members and wives/husbands are usually way better than any of the wandering companions.
