Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord вЂ“ Forming your own kingdom For more information, check out our Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord guides and features hub. Note: This guide is intended for Mount & Blade II: BannerlordвЂs early access stage. We tackle all of these вЂњold-but-new mechanicsвЂќ in this guide. YouвЂ™ll still have the same panels on the Kingdom menu (K), except, of course, youвЂ™re the one ruling now. Truth be told, being a king or a queen follows the same concepts as those when you were still a vassal. The swadians spent all their money on the knights and didn't have much left for the infantry and crossbowmen which just turn out to be second-rate troops.WeвЂ™re moving forward just after your completion of вЂњThe Dragon BannerвЂќ quest which allows you to form your own kingdom in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord. Their sergeants aren't strong enough and their crossbowmen can't take enough enemies out before they get in the castle and the knights are terrible off their horses. Also Swadians have a tendancy to lose all their land by day 150. Swadian troops get so expensive so fast, greatly hindering your progress. The crossbowmen are just so unreliable, you never know when or if they're going to hit anything. The infantry is really just minor support for the knights. While the sergeants are ok they can be taken out by the nords and rhodoks. But the infantry is lacking compared to most other kingdoms. Even the man at arms are good relying on swords to cut foes down and lances to deal crushing blows. If you see a swadian knight Go after a enemy you know he's going to kill the enemy, no exeptions. They have the best heavy calvary in the game. The Kingdom of Swadia is the central most kindgom.

The kingdom of the nords is a strong faction but its lack off calvary and the fact that the infantry takes a long while to train it has very exploitable weakpoints. Just so happens the kingdom the nords fight the most is the one with the heaviest calvary. Heavy calvary can take down nordic armies faster than and infantry and archers. 1 of the 3 is very hard to defend aswell. The kingdom of the nords also only has 3 towns, only one other faction is afflicted by this.

Now for downsides, The Kingdom of the nords has no calvary infact some of the vassles don't use horses. Theres no better defense for a castle than a housecarl. Monster health and armor make for a potent combo, seemingly unkillable. He is the only tier 6 troop in the game making him an absolute moster in a battle.

The jewel in the nordic crown however is the housecarl. In castle's they're great because they can go from archer to swordsmen smoothly. The archers are good aswell but not as good as the other factions archers in terms of damage and accuracy, but where they really shine is ironically with they're swords and axe's. A max level character will be taken out in just a few shots by them. They also carry throwable weapons which do crazy damage. These high health high damage machines are great on the battlefield but in castles they are a tough wall to break. The infantry is great arguably the best in the game. The kindom of the Nords is a very strong and not to expensive Kingdom.
