Rhodoks is also hella hard to take castles from due to their tough infantry and ridiculous crossbowmen. You can sit back and shoot most of them off the walls and then send in your infantry, easily taking the battlements before they get their 'reinforcement' wave. They will, literally, snipe everyone off a wall. The reason Rhodoks is easy to conquer with is because of their Crossbowmen. Give me a horse and a bastard sword, and I will take out 30-40 of them by myself and that is if I am having an off day. Meh, for me it was always Weapon Mastery. It has an amazing selection that makes it one of my favorites.
MOUNT AND BLADE WARBAND ARCHERS MODS
On another note, check out mods for Mount & Blade Warband. Stronger characters can engage foes that have them vastly outnumbered and win which gives a more renown so more men. Personally, I ignore leadership and leave it at 3 or 4 because a strong enough character is going to kill a good chunk of their men by himself/herself, and you get more men as your renown raises. There are more ways to go about it then trying to solo it. If you are well liked enough, you can always convince the King to give a newly acquired castle or city to you instead of the one who conquered it. When you get a high enough level, and another Lord likes you enough, you can ask them to follow you and use their men to help you conquer the larger cities. Set infantry and your dismounted cavalry in front of your archers to soak up missiles since they usually have a higher hp. Get yourself a good amount of crossbowmen and stand outside the walls and pelt them down before sending in your infantry. Honestly, Rhodoks is the easiest nation to conquer with. I feel like I've pumped leadership pretty aggressively, but at five more followers a point, I need at least like ten (!) more points in it to even have a chance at taking castles on my own.Īdvice? Does my experience seem totally ridiculous? Do people capture castles with the amount of men I have now, or less? Do people not command large enough armies to take castles alone until they're like level 60? Or is it that people get made marshal and then command other nobles to help them capture castles and towns? I'm curious because my party isn't really large enough to take castles (I lead 108 men) I managed to take a castle once that had about 50-60 men in its garrison, but all my other attempts to storm castles on my own have been abysmal failures.

My weapons skills are mainly pumped for one-handed weapons and bows. Power Strike/Power Draw/Shield/Riding/Athletics/Horse Archery are all at 3, Weapon Master is at 4, Prisoner Management at 6, Path-finding/Persuasion at 7, and Leadership at 8. So I've been playing a lot of Mount & Blade: Warband, and I'm curious about other people's builds.
