When you have the best cavalry in the game but the Butter King Harlaus throws a feast while Dhirim and Suno are being sieged :(
Lol I stopped my recent-ish playthrough because I got so annoyed at how incompetent Swadia was and I was a vassal of them. I think a big part of it was just generic dump AI decisions, like they were getting fucked by the Rhodoks and then decided to declare war on the Vaegirs directly after they lost Suno...but they literally did what you just said as well. Like they had the normal city they had feasts at, but that city was under siege, to good old Harlaus decided he'd have a feast in some generic castle at this exact moment 🤔
@@tommeakin1732 Militarily for me they are doing fine, (With my help In Killing massive armies singlehanded) - That aside they decimated the Rodocks, suffered when facing nords and now at war with the saranids with their annoying spam armies everywhere. ~ The Rodocks are all but Irrelevant now, having now hardly any territory and their military might crushed (By me mostly) - I started just using rodock troops despite the moral affect as I am one of the few Swadian vassals actually trying to win against the Saranids. It will be Interesting what happenings with the Nords tho, as they are stronger and took weaker Rodock forts. The nords have not faced much hardship, making me needing decent reserve forces In my own fort ready for a elete death stack to mass kill Nord armies (As other vassals won't lets face It)
In my save, King Jarlaus rarely does feasts, and King Harlaus gave me, Tihr, Veluca, Wercheg and Durquba, after losing all my villages because of my father in law Count Clais, King Harlaus is good, is my game broken?
@@tommeakin1732 What? I think Swadia is good, in my save, i've been hitting hard on the Rhodoks, they only have Ibdeles castle.
And in my save, Sultan Hakim has all the fiefs expect one.
No mention of the Swadian Elite troops? The Swadian butterlords. With there amazing special skill of feasting in Praven.

96 vs 453 rhodoks vs vaegirs, I was rhodoks, about 2 thirds of that was sharpshooters the rest, veteran spearmen or sargeants, I completely obliterated them
I once beat king ragnars army of 430 with just 55 swadian knights. I diddnt think i would win but i only lost like 20 dead and less wounded

Ive never lost a battle with that strat
Not entirely, honestly the other Swadian troops are all decent except the recruit even the Milita is pretty decent considering they spawn with some crossbows. Swadians are good just because all their troops work, which I can't say for the other factions so much. The knights are great on sieges too -- the only difference between the sgts and the knights is the sgts have lower power strike and more athletics. Anyway, there are scenarios where press charge doesn't work (like fighting lots of Khergit Lancers or Mamlukes) and you should have your troops follow you around to the enemies back before charging. Also, the knights love to get stuck in spawn camps of Nord Huscarls and Veterans, or Rhodok Veteran Spearman so you have to watch for that too. You will probably win that type of fight anyway, but not without some dead knights.
I know your primary focus is the troops, but map position is kind of important too. The Swadians have opposing factions in all directions, and have hostile borders with every faction except Sarranids. So unlike all the other factions, Swadia will pretty much always have a multi-front war going on in my experience.
yes and this for me is the onIy reason they die because if they had 1 at time they wouId dominate
thats why they get eliminated first in all my playthroughs
Also because of King Harlaus the Fat and his unclenchable first for feasts in the midst of 4 front wars
You can win with Swaziland just by having war with Max 2 factions. You can appeace the other faction. Where did rhodoks and vaegirs go?
Not if you just kill all khergits immediately as the swadians

Being a vassal of swadia is like playing on hard mode. You practically have to fight everyone at once.Every war is a death or glory terrifying fuck feast and thats why I love them.
Can you also talk about the cities? Their position, cheap trade goods and siege layout?

You know what the legend says: "If you see a naked swadian running to you with a big ass sword, all you can do is run." At least for multiplayer.
You can't even parry 'em, I fear' em.
Swadian Knights FTW! Can’t wait for the Rhodok faction overview!
I always end up with a cavalry-only army and 1 day i decided to make it 75 sword sisters and fought against a swadian lord. His infatry and archers were taken care of almost immediatly, however his 13 knights managed to kill or wound 32 of my sword sisters. They would form a pile around a single knight and not manage to kill him before he took 3 or 4 of them down single-handedly. so yeah, swadians...........
if you have a party full of just swadian knights it is impossible to lose a land battle
Fiachra O'Floinn Unless you are like me and get ambushed by 1000 troops while I only had 100 Swadian Knights
How can they have such good troops and always die
the feasts
King harlaus has invited you to a feast to his grand hall Praven
Their terrible geographic position that will always force them into wars on multiple fronts.
@@IDONTGETTHEPOINT thats why in my experience its best just to build a large force and never stop attacking
Butter King Harlaus throws feasts while fighting 3 different wars on 3 different fronts

For my personal Swadian setup, I work on getting to 35 Knights along with however many companions I want (normally 5) the rest of my troop space I use to train troops for my fiefs (by this time I normally have at least a castle)
I'd love to see Vaegirs - Mercenaries / Bandits and Misc units would be cool too!
When you are Demolishing the Khergs and only Tulga last... 5 Lords, an entire army of highly trained Swadians boys... "King Harlus invites you to his feast at Praven..." A 10 DAYS FEAST AND THE KHERGS REECAPTURE ALL THEIR CASTLES AND CITIES!!!!
I love this, great work : )
As an experienced mount and blade player I find that drawing on a mix of troops and the Swadians will often supplement my Vaegir troops with their heavily armored cavalry and sergeants and some crossbowmen who do more damage per hit while archers fire faster and farther I use archers as my main ranged unit especially since Vaegirs favor two handed axes which make them more effective against cavalry while in melee and somewhat more effective against Nord shield walls but typically it works better when they are supported by a flanking maneuver
I think it would be nice to see the slavers and mercenaries, cause they seem very effective.
You should do this series for the most popular mods after you finish with the main factions, that’d be pretty cool and useful
Once again as in the sarnid overview after you do faction troops I would recommend comparing the mercenary troops to faction troops P.S. awesome video
"Look out Swads! Here come the Mamluks!"
Hey, I would like to ask if taking out general in battle (for example caravan master) lowers the enemy morale. Same for lords
They’re surrounded on all sides with only Uxkhal left. Harlaus throws a feast … Something beautiful about the butter

King Harlaus has left the Realm - my favorite message to get
Hey Resonant, can you command your archers to “Stand closer” next time? It really helps when it comes to concentrated fire.
I am doing a play through with them. I developed a really good siege tactic with them - Hard and continual crossbow lines, having 30 or so Sharpshooters lining up In a spread out set up and just shooting all their bolts until they get low In numbers. And when fighting other enemies, I aim to be on a hill so their firing range is good so they act like snipers. The Saranids are weak to that, and I kill 50-60 defenders each raid, as their Infantry is weak to being hit. And when their ranged units get killed off their other units lack of defense Is showing as they get shot down very quickly. Second, I ascertained a awesome castle, one on such a hill that I stole from the Rodocks, and the Saranids sent 2-3 500 size armies against me and my minor garrison (As I am limited In funds) - They got decimated being shot by Sharpshooters from all angles upon attacking. Resulting In 9 deaths and 19 wounded my side and 380 dead on their side as they had no cover when attacking. ~ Overall I find them fun, But I managed to succeed due to using actual tactics, as most the lords are doing not much at all or doing a massive mob attack - When now having a feast lol, making me one of the few actually keeping the border free of attacks and doing counter-attacks with my massive skirmish force (Not respected for that of course) The pushes against the Saranids was only possible because of me, yet they give me little support In keeping Saranid numbers low so they don't have death stacks.
Those videos are like dev blogs for M&B Warband XD
I'd like to see an overview of the Empire faction or well two factions since iirc its going to be split in M&B2
Too bad they always die first
I know all too wel, heck I'm trying to bring them to Victory but we keep getting a stupid Defector we lost Dhirm without even a fight Harlous does not have any loyal vassals
i think its because they are always fighting wars on multiple fronts. if they had the same geographic location as lets say the nords, they would probably easily make it to the late/endgame
Almost everytime I have played, the swadians destroy the rhodoks and or the Khergits but then they get too powerful and all the other factions attack them.
@@abrahamroe5148 now you see the rodocks will generally take desert bois land at wyren castle and suriz but the when they done kickin ass and taken names, almost always swadia has only prime left

I just see literally just a few strongholds left of their kingdom. Wanted to do a little more research after slaughtering them. Now I'm trying to preserve/unite with them so that we can attack neighboring kingdoms
The khergits in my game captured one of their castle(swadia) and they ended the war immediately

The swadians always get absolutely domed in every game I play. Personally a Rodoks fan
Da KINGS !! Yeahhhh
I really like Swadians, their troops are great, but then they make a feast after getting one castle. So I started my own kingdom and totally smashed them.
Random question but what happens if you take a castle or city without being a vassal or even a mercenary? Will you establish a kingdom even without the lord status or any right to rule?
As far as I know yah but most other factions will declare war on you and try to take the castle.
Can you do a video on mercenary/generic troops?
Swadia: strong boys Me: beats their faction with militia and swordsman.
havw you made a companions guide? if not, can you make it?

They're not that bad, but... YOU need to help them with every single siege/defense. If you leave it to the butter lords they're not going to win. But, that being said in open ground they wreck everything... So use that advantage to kill the hell out of enemies and rank hell out of your troops.
Seems things are heating up... your past few videos have been legit.
Anymore suggestions for topics?

Swadian Sergeants I feel are like a hidden gem, my personal not popular opinion
I know you searched up the Swadian Seargent because I went on that website yesterday to look and you said the exact words off the source. Lollll
I just need to get there for a feast
I still remember my first time playing warband the nords get destroyed by everyone i get rich by ransoming lords and Sargoths dye but the one thing that i regret it is fighting Khergits
Long live the butter lord!!!
The swadians are pretty good but i found raiseing a bastard army consisting of Mercenary swordsmen and Calvary-men is pretty damn effective against almost anything, with 45 Mercenary Swordsmen I took down a kergit army of 300 with only 5 dead and 3 wounded.
May I say, in sieges my swadian sergeants die soooo much quicker than rhodok sergeants.
POV praven is the last swadian owned town and is currently under siege, then you get a feast notification
Swadia main!!!

You should do overviews for mods
If I may, the Swadian crossbowmen are actually quite skilled, and I find myself relying on their power even more than the power of my Knights.
Meh If you want to call it COMPLETE faction overview you could also mention their location in map, politics, factions which counter them, factions which are countered by Swadia etc.
The slaver chief is the strongest cavalry unit.
Well the Swadian Knights can be killed by the Rhodok Pikemen and also the Sarranids if they started using their fucking bamboo spear and not having it on their backs all the time
Hi Im a new player. What are the best things to do to help your faction?
Well it depends on what you want to be good at Nords are best at besieging castle and have best infantry Rhodoks at defending castle and have best archer with vaegir Swadia has the strongest cavalry only rivaled by mamlukes and has balanced troops Vaegir is for pro players khergits are the master of the openfield battle if you want to learn mount and blade you should play it a lot and you can read mount and blade wiki.
And btw sarranid is similar to swadia however its guardian a little bit worse but has good archers.
Guide to Khergeits: "the best Cav on the game" Guide to the Sarranids: "The powerful Cav in the Game" Guide to the Swadians: "The Strongest Cav in the game" That does not sound so convincing
If you have enough swadians on the field they literally body block and tank the khergits who's archers can't do anything if they don't have lancers or heavy troops
