Reconstruction Era Forum

I wanted to make a thread about Mount and Blade Warband since a lot of us have been playing it recently. I wanted to take a shot at making an after action report for the game I've been playing but also making a thread for general discussions or other peoples AAR. This is my first time writing one and it probably won't be that good.

Most of y'all know about my campaign as Ratovitch the Jewish Mercenary, I only recently got vassalage from the Rhodoks, BUT the king keeps telling Ratovitch to convert, this came after Ratovitch joined three armies being the Caliphate Equivalent, Byzantines, and then the Rhodok military, only after serving in the military and becoming a slum lord slave trader he was able to move up the ranks and become a Baron. I'm still playing through the campaign, aiming to retake Jerusalem and having it under Jewish control but the Duke of Jerusalem hates me because I deserted his army.

I don't really know how to develop the campaign further and I suck at siege warfare, so I need some tips.

I've been playing gunned up Bannerlord, and I started off a we bit weak, captured by looters a couple times, I decided to caked up, all my funds went to building 1 army, I took on a couple bandits, loot everything, kill a couple raiders, steal that shit, escort a convoy, grab anything not nailed down. Selling all that shit started expanding my coffers, building up my army, hiring some companions. The key is building a large swath of rifles with melee a a smaller amount of melee troops, the melee slow the enemy while the gunners wittle the forces down.

How stable is the Eastern Empire? How long do you think it'll take to liberate?

I dont know much about their stability, force sizes were evenly matched. Castle will be liberated as soon as Caldog can organize an actual army

Are you playing a renaissance mod? Are you going to acquire cannons because that's what I'm saving up for in my game.

The Scot's get hand cannons, kinda a meme, bombs kinda funny broken. My main complaint is that the guns are too quiet.

Lame, you always need to lay siege to shit, I'm gonna try to get so many cannons for Ratovitch's army, like Napoleon.
