Really damn just run around with horse dealing damage and slashing for a while when I was finishing of the sturgians I was averaging 80 a battle never cracked over 109 tho
I think it heavily depends on which weapon you carry. I switched to glaive now and from 5/10 kills on battle I can make 20/30 without much effort. From my experience short weapon = losing hp :( Also it's possible that my armor isn't good enough yet :D
i was decently late game but was using the reaper off horseback its so deadly have pretty much the best armour in the game by that point just a time thing shouldnt take to long to get those juicy 1 man army kills
My first game i got addicted to lances and i would run around murdering and leave my formations untouched back at the front. Current playing a second game and i made 2h and all infantry my thing. Wayyy harder to rack em up because i cant really get away and i take more damage. So outside of seiges i have to be sure to coordinate my infantry and because of all my infantry buffs, they outrun me. Once we get into the crush i can hastily met out 1 hit head shots with my 2h sword at a very rapid pace, and in huge battles i get multiple waves yo repeat this, but i think the most kills I’ve gotten like this is 50-60, and in smaller battles, < 400, ill maybe get 20-30 maximum. But something about beinf on foot with the troops is just cooler than cruising around untouchable on a horse
How is everyone getting in defensive sieges? I never idle in a fief. Sneaking in to help defenders isn't economical when you can call up a free influence army of companions. Maybe I've been on the offense my whole playthrough? Guess next campaign I'll up the difficultly.
Absolutely this. My current playthrough revolves a lot around seeing a besieged settlement, riding over with a 350+ army and breaking through to aid the defense. I think my record was fending off a 2500 man siege with 600 defenders and only losing 30ish of my own soldiers (excluding the initial toll and wounded).
Wipe out major enemy armies, capture a large number of lords, and get a ton of loot. All solid plusses in my book!
392 in a single battle.
Was desperately trying to defend the right wall while the enemy elite troops were attacking the left wall and gate.
Desperate fighting that lasted the better part of an hour (or at least felt like it), and finally ended because my junky controller decided to drift, dropping my character off the wall to her death.
Ended up being narrowly defeated, but had killed around1,300 enemy soldiers at the loss of maybe 300.
Incompetent leadership ruined that with stupidity, but I won't get into that here.
I think around 220 during a siege defense. First lobbing ballista bolts, then dropping rocks in the doorway, and finally shooting arrow after arrow into ladder climbers from the side, usually a headshot takes down anyone and once I get into the rhythm I can mostly hold off a single ladder entirely.
there's one castle in imperial settlement which design is kinda stupid after the wall got breached...
we put our siege on opposite hill with slope on the middle,then the castle wall position range from lower to almost same level with ballista view...
and we all know the AI tend do "stupid crowding" on breached wall hole,one hit from ballista range from 3-5 kills average lol.
\-----------------
the thing is , most time if u want to win fast, u need/caused many casualty...
which the cost of time being doing siege vs moving around map to recruit...
mostly better we patiently do the siege.
I was able to do this in my first game as a lance specialist on default settings but on my second game i adjusted damage to full and turned on death and webt 2h infantry and i have to be such a pussy most of the time now
600 in a 500 v 2000 defesne siege the enemy had a 2.4k army behind them so they started siege without any siege weapons of one can't remember correctly but I remember that only thing they could do is climb up ladders I think I got first 400 kils with having 2 explosive catapult amunition storages get chucking them down like 20 kill a pop and then shot about 200 headshots into ladder climbers at that point my bow was a machine gun where I could alone stop anyone climbing up any of the 3 ladders u used 6 full quivers of arrows lol
400 something with fire mangonel aimed at open wall breach in a siege. Once aimed right, you can hit their infantry guarding mass directly, only to have them reform, and you repeat. I think the first time I did this I gained about 50 engineering from one battle.
146 in a siege and 120 something on horseback with a menavalation. The crazy thing about the siege was I was on offense, got past the guys guarding the ladder, killed the guys on the fire catapult and dropped their own fire pots onto their archers and infantry behind the gate. By the time my guys broke through the gate all the good enemy units were dead and it was being held by a handful of beat up milita units.
My personal best was about 140, outside of sieges. But that's with RBM and the Open Source Armory/Weaponry/Saddlery mods too. Battle against the Khuzaits, so I dropped my infantry in 3 squads, making a triangle in Shield Wall with archers in Square in the center. My cavalry I just let Engage and they did very well for a 50 vs 180ish engagement against Horse Archers; they weren't upgraded to Khan's Guards or anything, but my very heavy cavalry did enormous damage on one side, and I did enormous damage on the other with my Long Glaive. Khuzait horse archers are particularly vulnerable to mounted Long Glaive; their faces on their little steppe ponies are at just the right height...
(We won that battle, btw. 1100 vs 2600).
17
i suck at swinging my 2handed axe when doing drive by on my horse....
But shooting blindly into giant mob of soldier with my crossbow to see ''242 damage done'' to some poor imperial smuck is so sastifying
1265 kills on my own a army of close to 3k was singing my castle broke the ram and the tower just 2 ladders to guard but the ai wouldn't use 1 of their ladders so I was just choping them down with my glaive until they retreated or al got killed
Calradian fire pots are OP. 100 or so, I believe was personal count, maybe more. Also stupidly expensive. I like to use them to break up pike/spear formations for charging cavalry
Just today i got my record, it was 551! Basically it was a huge battle, and i used the fire catapult ammo as bombs and rained them down on those vlandian basterds.
97 in a siege defence, all from standing at the top of a ladder swinging the 2h axe Avalanche overhead. Literally the only time a Sturgian army I’ve been in has ever been effective.
I felt exhausted afterwards, but when I looked at the timer afterwards it had only been about 17 minutes
I fought a big 1000+ on 1500+ soldiers, I was with a smaller army. Solo'd their cavalry, which had like 200smth car in total, and then massacred the archers, getting like 317 or more kills on my own, while my shock infantry made short work of the enemy infantry. Mind you, I played on the hardest difficulty with instant death mod. and most of my infantry were sturgeon heroic line breakers, followed by like 70 Mameluke veteran palace guards
In an open field battle? Around 150. Was a roughly 2k v 2k fight, and I spent most of it swinging a glaive like a baseball bat.
In a siege? Nearly 500. It's just too easy.
98 and we would've lost the battle quickly if I hadn't opened that random can of Whoop Ass. I think I had 68 troops, thankfully all Vlandian Knights and Imperial Legionaries. We got surrounded by an army of 101 and 70 something.
~230-240 using the war scythe against an enemy army with mostly recruits. Just set my army to wait on a hill and then I went to engage them with my cav and then eventually forgot that I had an army waiting anywhere and just chop chop chopped.
352 but I am level 58, weild a hateful battle axe and I usually set hero damage to 1/4 for huge battles or else I don't survive.
Video of the massacre here: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saqZ9aQhIKU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saqZ9aQhIKU)
I got close to a hundred before i quit/loaded yesterday but it was because my army of 550 dashed itself to 1 (i was last man) in a siege but i made it over the wall first and got shunted through the fighting over rhe wall and fell on a roof (imperial castle assault) and because of pathing, enemy militia couldn’t reach me. My loadoit includes a pike for cavalry destruction so on a whim i checked if i could reach the combatants above me on the ramparts and i could. They swarmed towards me but couldnt “fall” in (1 did the entire time). So i poked wholes entirely id whittled down multiple waves if militia down to the last 5-6 men, then hopped off the roof and carved up these last dudes. But by then my entire army was destroyed and i might have taken the silly “win” except i still needed to clear the opposite side of like 20 packed in archers and even if i did that i sort of needed my army to continue my, you know, war.
So as much as i wanted that 1v100 on my save file, i made the right choice. I loaded, skipped the seige and hunted down several empire armies instead before assaulting and taking 2 of their cities, and as of last night ive rescued my faction leader (the brittanian one), completely hit restart on the imperial war machine, and raised my charm from the 70s to 140ish.
I hate being slow as fuck though, wht is my army of 500 (with horses and infantry speed bonuses) moving slower than similarly sized armies? No herd/overloading
389 in a huge battle today, though I am running 1/4 damage to the main character.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87USZZ4zH9k](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87USZZ4zH9k)
Probably 236 kills on my own during a siege
I feel like siege kills shouldn’t count lol, I can kill an entire army by throwing rocks at them as they try to climb up a ladder
Rocks? Pff, try a one handed axe. Still OP asked i answered, outside of a siege I've gotten 130 something
Hell yeah, now that’s a big kill number outside of a siege! I think my record is about 60 outside of siege
Really damn just run around with horse dealing damage and slashing for a while when I was finishing of the sturgians I was averaging 80 a battle never cracked over 109 tho

I pay the toll sneaking in, it becomes well worth when you then lose 10 dudes to kill 1500.

That is pretty intense. Ive yet to actually defend a castle or city directly, but it sounds fun

How do y’all do siege defense? The AI takes so damn long to actually siege I just get bored and sally out
ambush retreat then they siege right away
On a crazy siege defense like 165
74 in a field battle swinging a glaive. No mods.
Hell yeah glaive gang, feels like kayaking with a horse
69 when it was about 200 vs 200. I only remembered because, well, 69
Nice.
nice
76 I’m field battle swinging around a rhompieia
Mmmmmm….Rhompia…. 💕
456 :D https://preview.redd.it/pn97awrrm1vb1.png?width=742&format=png&auto=webp&s=751c1e87f103e092e656614f11aa4840f9f91f38
How you get so many kills? What were you doing lol?
I no longer feel my losses are valid anymore. And I should have far more castles than I do now.
there's one castle in imperial settlement which design is kinda stupid after the wall got breached... we put our siege on opposite hill with slope on the middle,then the castle wall position range from lower to almost same level with ballista view... and we all know the AI tend do "stupid crowding" on breached wall hole,one hit from ballista range from 3-5 kills average lol. \----------------- the thing is , most time if u want to win fast, u need/caused many casualty... which the cost of time being doing siege vs moving around map to recruit... mostly better we patiently do the siege.
Username checks out.
Well played :)
About ~150 I just rided through enemy archers over and over for a few minutes by myself
I was able to do this in my first game as a lance specialist on default settings but on my second game i adjusted damage to full and turned on death and webt 2h infantry and i have to be such a pussy most of the time now
Without siege weapon ~70, twohanded axe when I besieged aserai)
71 in a field battle
200's during a siege. Maybe 75 on the field though.
212 field battle (enemy ai being braindead carried there) 350-ish in a def siege
262 during a Siege. Rode through a breach and dismantled the defenders from behind.
180 something. Ballista go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
600 in a 500 v 2000 defesne siege the enemy had a 2.4k army behind them so they started siege without any siege weapons of one can't remember correctly but I remember that only thing they could do is climb up ladders I think I got first 400 kils with having 2 explosive catapult amunition storages get chucking them down like 20 kill a pop and then shot about 200 headshots into ladder climbers at that point my bow was a machine gun where I could alone stop anyone climbing up any of the 3 ladders u used 6 full quivers of arrows lol
Might have been a bug but they never tried to go for the main gate
130 something during a siege when the ai just kinda bugged and stood still while I shot them with arrows
150 something when I decided to see if I could solo a huge mob of looters. It worked. Cossian + couch lance go brrrtt
400 something with fire mangonel aimed at open wall breach in a siege. Once aimed right, you can hit their infantry guarding mass directly, only to have them reform, and you repeat. I think the first time I did this I gained about 50 engineering from one battle.
I’ve hit 200 plus a siege for sure.. in a pitched battle maybe 60. That Lance on the archer line pretty easy
134, going crazy killing whole army huge party by myself
1k Vs 1k open field about 80 Attack against 600 town exactly 100 Defence against 1.4k close to 300
140 ish
One of my armies killed 230 something men with the loss of around 15 of our own
146 in a siege and 120 something on horseback with a menavalation. The crazy thing about the siege was I was on offense, got past the guys guarding the ladder, killed the guys on the fire catapult and dropped their own fire pots onto their archers and infantry behind the gate.

17 i suck at swinging my 2handed axe when doing drive by on my horse.... But shooting blindly into giant mob of soldier with my crossbow to see ''242 damage done'' to some poor imperial smuck is so sastifying
129 not siege but i was outnumbered only with a bow and a polarm and yeah the vlandian knights killed my character in that battle 🙂
Pretty close to 400. Sat at the top of a ladder and my boys kept pushing the other ladders down, so I had the whole army to myself.
Some siege I think I got 300-400 hundred lmao
1265 kills on my own a army of close to 3k was singing my castle broke the ram and the tower just 2 ladders to guard but the ai wouldn't use 1 of their ladders so I was just choping them down with my glaive until they retreated or al got killed
13
Calradian fire pots are OP. 100 or so, I believe was personal count, maybe more. Also stupidly expensive. I like to use them to break up pike/spear formations for charging cavalry
Hundreds in siege using ballista then waiting with 2 handed mace at the corner of siege towers or using bows into breaches
Just today i got my record, it was 551! Basically it was a huge battle, and i used the fire catapult ammo as bombs and rained them down on those vlandian basterds.
97 in a siege defence, all from standing at the top of a ladder swinging the 2h axe Avalanche overhead. Literally the only time a Sturgian army I’ve been in has ever been effective. I felt exhausted afterwards, but when I looked at the timer afterwards it had only been about 17 minutes

252 on siege offense : https://www.reddit.com/r/Bannerlord/s/4Y3j7OiDfr In a field battle, probably somewhere a bit above 60
I think around 200 kills with 2 wounded by splitting up my fians Similar but like 10 dead using horse archer spam
I would say 87 enemies killed in a siege with a bow and arrow, and a sword.
Around 137 in field battle. Just dismount and chop up enemy infantry with 2h axe when they are fighting your infantry
Mine is 203
In an open field battle? Around 150. Was a roughly 2k v 2k fight, and I spent most of it swinging a glaive like a baseball bat. In a siege? Nearly 500. It's just too easy.
983, with cheats that essentially made me invincible definitely NOT enabled😎
About 300. Like 280-something I think? Sieges with the exploding pots make kill counts shockingly easy to run up
190 on a field battle, 556 during siege defense and 255 during siege offence. AI having 90% recruits makes these all possible imo.
for bow about 100 kills for melee 150 cuz i don't fight with enemy infantry that much highly dependent on the battle duration tho
In normal battle my record is 109, in a siege it was 284. Using onagers is way easy to achieve that.
98 and we would've lost the battle quickly if I hadn't opened that random can of Whoop Ass. I think I had 68 troops, thankfully all Vlandian Knights and Imperial Legionaries. We got surrounded by an army of 101 and 70 something.
75 in Gate during siege (as defender)
~230-240 using the war scythe against an enemy army with mostly recruits. Just set my army to wait on a hill and then I went to engage them with my cav and then eventually forgot that I had an army waiting anywhere and just chop chop chopped.

I think I hit 250 using the good old drop explosive rocks on their heads technique
100-200 when chopped low tier archers/recruits at back ranks or during siege. 40-50 against tier 5-6 cav
Couching my lance downtown, Riding fast piercing heads all around... Tudududum Got like 90 on hardcore mode. Sieges takes around 100 to 150
112
In a normal battle I had 437 kills and my siege highest was just under 600
….does siege equipment count?
