I’m finding Tactics are way more important in Bannerlord so I’ve been trying to keep versatile by using about 40% Archers (Aserai or Fian). 25% Horse Archers (Noble Khuzait) to herd enemies into bow range. 20% Shield Wall and Shock Troops to protect the archers (Batty Wilder/Vlandian Sargeants, Khuzait Darkhan, Wolf Bois) and the rest Cavalry for mopping up or cover, I haven’t settled on
Party Ai Overhaul and Commands Rebuild lets you give specific commands on what you want you want them to do. Improved Garrisons makes it so you can have guard parties roami g your lands and killing bandits and defending villages while giving you more control over your garrisons. Send Companions Recruiting lets you send companions to recruit
Basically if you give them good troops they will end up automatically losing them to being over the party limit and the game will substitute your good troops with whatever your companion recruited. Then eventually the companion is beaten and caught, and will lose all the troops.
My poor little sister Alda is not ready for war, at least not in a battle I cant order her to stay back in. I sure as hell don't trust the AI to control her. Is there no way to tell her to leave the party without having her form her own party (I can't because I already have max party limit) or setting her as a governor(I hold no fiefs so far since Vlandia is getting rekt.) Surely she should be
By the time I hit clan 4 I pretty much have all of my original troops with few casualties. Usually 80-90% tier 5 lego/pal mix as described, and over 200 party size. That’s 120-160 legionnaires. 99% of every massive AI army are tier 1-tier-2 troops. The highest level abundant bandits are forest bandits, tier 4 archers with barely any armor.
Then add a few more horses and see when herd penalty starts appearing. Culture and a lot of perks impact speed. Time of day matters. 1to1 horses - infantry. Party size matters most. A party of 200 horse archers moves with 5.7 at max and catches everything. Really great for catching single lords.
