(TAKING REVENGE) War Sails Part 8 Bannerlord DLC Gameplay
Hello and welcome back to War Sales. And indeed, what we’re going to do in this particular naval battle. I know, I know it’s been a while since we’ve actually had one of these, but what we’re going to do is we’re going to try to actually get a decent ram. And I’m talking about coming in from the side and attempting to do as much damage as we possibly can because obviously we do have this really, really wonderful ballista on the front of our ship. I feel like it would probably make sense if we can uh potentially do some damage with the ram and then finish them off with the ballista. At least that’s the hope. So, I’ve got two ships uh up and running here as you can see. So, we’re going to hopefully be able to utilize those as best as we can. Now, let’s see if I can do a little bit of something here. So, we’re going to put this here now. We’re going to see. Mhm. Let me see. Let me see. Uhhuh. All right. So, let’s go. All right. Now, first of all, let’s tell them to go over there. How do I Wait a minute. This is not me. There we go. Okay. Let me just do this. Boom. Okay. Engage. And get that one to engage the same one. We’re basically just having them go after the same target. Unfortunately, again, the wind is not in our favor. So, that is actually kind of sad generally because this is a very, very nice Look at the Look at the water. It’s really really nice and calm. Unfortunately, because of the fact that we don’t have a lot of wind, it is going to well create a bit of a problem for us to uh come in from the side and try to do big damage with the ram. But maybe maybe we’ll be okay. Maybe we’ll actually have a good time here. I’m just going to speed things up a little bit just because it’s going to take ages for us to get over there otherwise. And we’re otherwise now going to see Okay. Yeah. Well, I mean, obviously our our other ships are traveling very very quickly here. So, oh, wait, wait, wait. We might actually be able to make something work here. Um, obviously our ballista is doing some really weird things right now, but yes, hopefully. I’m not sure if this is going to be enough speed. That’s the problem. I don’t know whether this is going to be enough speed, but we’re going to try our best. I mean, look at the wind right now. The wind is literally against us right here, which is definitely going to make a huge difference. I kind of wish the wind was a little bit more Well, I’m not sure why, but it seems like it’s always in our face, as in it’s always blowing against us, which is obviously not exactly great. Okay, so let’s see. I’m going to come in from the side here on this one, I guess, and we’re going to try to do damage. Uh, this is Yeah, this is not a good angle. Yeah. Nah. No. Not a good angle. Not a good angle at all. But we can we can board them. We can board them pretty easily here. And we’ve actually gained, look at this, 200 medicine skill. Very, very nice. She is our medic and she’s literally leveled up from zero right here, which is really, really good. I’m actually very surprised that she has so much skill in it right now. And oh, nice kill right there. Okay, I’m obviously going to try to get 275 in onehanded. And I forgot how fun naval combat is, actually. Oh, wow. Yeah, this is just fantastic. I mean, really, it’s one of those things that you just you as soon as you do it again, you just kind of get addicted to it because it is just so cool. Uh, and the fact that I can go in here and do so much damage by myself. I feel like it’s just so much more fun. I don’t know. It’s more fun than doing a siege, I think, unless you can get like a really good vantage point in a siege because obviously there are significant benefits to doing any kind of siege, any kind of any kind of battle really where you can gain a lot of experience just by existing. And that’s exactly what we’re doing here. I’m literally just doing standardish stuff. I’m just boarding the vessel when we want to board the vessel. I’m just doing what we need to do to level up our one-handed skill. I’m not entirely sure how our one-handed is doing right now. Wow, this guy’s absolutely destroying me. And that is also quite the funny funny bit. Sometimes that happens. Sometimes the opponent is just way too good. And we have 27. Really? 274? Come on now. We literally got to 274. That is hilarious. Okay. Well, there you go. We did get 20 influence for this, which is really actually very very nice. I’m very surprised actually. We’re getting so much influence from such small um small opponents really. Yeah, I mean it’s uh it’s kind of crazy cool that we’re getting that actually. But there you go. Anyway, now we are going to just do a little bit of level ups. Going to get some more archers even though I’m not entirely sure if we even need more archers. I have 216 people in our uh well 213 now, but we have quite a few people in our in our army. I’m going to I’m probably not going to take this. Probably not going to take the ship right now. It’s not going to be particularly useful for us. Okay, so we do have armed convoy over there as well. I kind of hope that they would actually join at the same time, but they obviously didn’t. Uh, we can indeed take leadership if we want to, or we can go for two-handed. Once again, for me personally, I think two-handed is probably going to be the play here because we do want to get I mean, we’re obviously going to get to 200 even if we don’t spec into the focus point here. But just think about what we’re going to get. We’re going to get thick hides. That’s obviously fantastic. Thick Hides is insanely good. And then we can also get Vandal, which is pretty crazy cool, too. And I’m I’m thinking to myself, yeah, you know, 25% armor penetration with your attacks. I mean, that sounds amazing, right? But that’s the thing. If I respe and I go for this here instead, you can see how much damage that’s actually going to do. I mean, really, that’s going to be uh that’s going to be pretty incredible because look at that. But um I mean, obviously, here’s the thing. This does not mention, right, mighty blows. The primary effect does not mention the fact or that you’re fighting on a ship, right? The primary effect literally just says better cleave with two-handed weapon swings. That’s it. You know that that’s that’s literally all it says. So from my perspective and and the same thing here, 50% armor penetration for melee weapons. This is all personal, right? This is all personal. This is all this should should according to the according to the text on the perks at least these things should be active at all times, not just while you’re on a ship. At least that’s what that’s what I I’m seeing here. You know, yes, the secondary effects where you’re the captain and everything, they are all naval combat based, but everything else that’s personal, I believe you are probably going to get the the benefits of that. So, the thing is leadership versus two-handed. What do we want? The question is, do we want presence? Do we want leader of the masses? Leader of the masses would get us plus five party size. Might be useful when we get a couple more talents. Presence would get us more security. We don’t really need this. Uh, veterans respect would actually be pretty useful, I think, because then we could start leveling up those seed raiders into uh into Nord units, I guess. So, that would be kind of nice, maybe. Uh, uplifting spirit would be nice cuz that gets us 10 party size limit as well. Ah, yes. Lead by example. Ooh, okay. Yeah, lead by example would be fantastic cuz you could see here, plus 50% recruitment rate for infantry prisoners. If you want to recruit infantry prisoners only or if you want to focus on that like I do, then that’s going to be exceptionally good. Yeah. The question is, can I actually get there with three social skill? I don’t know. That’s 200. Uh, it’s probably unlikely. I’m going to go for the two-handed. I’m going to go for the two-handed just because I want to get to 250 as fast as we can. At least I’ll try. And uh I’d like to go in. No, never mind. Okay. I was I was going to say I’d like to go in and fight these armed convoy, but no. Oh, no. Of course. Of course we can’t. Okay, here we go. He’s actually going to come back out. This is actually hilarious that he’s just staying there. I love that. Okay, I want everything you’ve got. Okay, here we go. I am going to just auto resolve against these fellows. Here we go. Good amounts of uh good amounts of rogary there as well. Actually quite a while since we’ve um done any kind of fight against these kinds of fellas. But yeah, it’s not really that much of a big deal. I really do need to I need to get a town. I need to actually take a town. If I don’t do this soon, we are going to consistently be in a situation where I have to immediately go back to our town in our own territory. And it is going to be it’s going to be very sad, isn’t it? Yes, it’s going to be very sad. So, I’m actually wondering Oh, hello. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. What are you doing? Where where are you going? Haha. Okay. Well, this is going to be nice. It’s been a while. Okay, so first of all, I am I am literally going to just go straight on in here because as uh as you’ve no doubt seen, we literally gained so much one-handed skill uh from doing this that I am literally just going to do this again. We’re just going to do this again. And we are Oh. Oh, we’ve got the wind in our favor. This is great. Okay, the wind is in our favor. This is amazing. So that means what I’m going to do is I am going to speed I’m going to speed going this way. There we go. And what we’re going to do is I’m going to turn like this. And then we are going to turn all the way back around. Obviously this is Whoa. We actually see now you see how much difference the wind actually makes. It’s crazy how much it is really really staggering. And now the question remains. Can we can we actually charge in from the side? Can we actually manage to charge in from the side? We might be able to. Okay, here we go. Nice. A decent angle. A decent angle is what we’re looking for. I’m going to go for that one in the back there. It’s kind of side on to us right now, so that’s kind of good. Oh dear. Yeah. Yeah. No, not good enough. Not good enough. I’m I’m trying to get better, you know. I’m trying to get better with these uh with these rams and everything. Let’s try and go onto our ballista for the moment here because I could probably do some damage to these guys. Question is, can we sink this? Is it sinking? Oh, I actually don’t know. No, it doesn’t seem like it. We are doing so much damage. This is just crazy. Okay, I should probably get off this now, shouldn’t I? Yeah, probably get off that. Okay, so we’re just going to board them real fast. My my other forces will probably be able to deal with them. I do need to get to 275. I’m not sure why I’m concentrating on the ballista so much. Oh well, never mind. It’s cuz it’s it’s too too fun, you know? It’s too fun. I just get carried away with that kind of stuff. Okay, let’s try and see if I can get it. baby. Uh, go go go. Get him. Kill that guy. Yes. There we go. Okay. No, we got to 256 on that. That’s not good. I need 275. Oh dear. No, that’s too late. All right. Okay. Uh, what a classic. What a classic. Okay, so we still got 14 influence, which is pretty nice. I am going to continue. I’m just going to continue executing. Uh, it’s just not going to work. We are We are too far gone, I think, as uh a few people pointed out. And indeed, yeah, I was kind of wondering that myself to be honest. I thought, yeah, it’s not it’s not going to work. It’s not going to work, unfortunately. So, yeah, uh we’ll take all of this uh well, we’ll take as much of the loot as we possibly can. I am actually in a situation where I don’t really have that much uh space anymore. So, I may in fact have to go back to our town and actually sell all of that stuff, which I think I might do right now before we get onto the land. And I’m thinking we’re probably what I’m going to do actually is I think I might might go over to Galand. I might go and see what these what these towns actually have to offer. As in, do they have a lot of food? Do they have a limitation of food? Do they have any kind of problem with food? If so, then we can maybe take advantage of it. All right. So, it looks to me like we are going to have to deal with a siege here. And someone told me that there is no cost for actually getting into uh this area here. Uh well getting into the town. Uh we do have to it says we do have to break in. Oh no, never mind. Okay, it literally has no cost. Okay, that’s that’s actually pretty crazy. Usually breaking in has a cost of some kind. So I’m actually really really surprised about that. Now this is great. This actually helps us a massive amount right here. Technically, what I could have done is I could have waited for the convoy or should not convoy the blockade to be active. If I had waited for the uh blockade to be active, what’s going on here with our wall? Why is the wall already destroyed? Did we not repair that? Why have we not repaired that in this entire time? Not entirely sure. Maybe we don’t have the ability to do so. Oh, that’s that’s actually kind of funny. All right. Well, uh let’s just continue to get the catapults up and running cuz we need to get as many of those as possible. Oh no, another one. 876. Okay, that’s going to be a little bit dicey. Okay, I’m not a not a terribly big fan and uh not very confident in my ability to actually defend these kinds of things, but the more catapults we have, the better. So, I guess we’ll be okay potentially, right? Yeah. So, we could break out for port. If we break out from port, does does that take us into their convoy or should we say into their blockade? Why do I keep calling it a convoy? I don’t know. But that’s the question. Does it? I don’t know. But clearly, we are not going to be able to really do much here. I could Oh, wait a minute. Uh well, maybe we don’t even need to worry about that. It uh it seems like we c we could ambush. That’s something that they don’t normally do. They don’t Oh, wa wa wa. Okay. Okay. Okay, that’s very interesting. I’m actually kind of surprised that they went with this, but yes, they are literally coming out straight away here. Okay, let’s give them a Let’s give them a shot, shall we? Let’s give them a shot and see what they decide to go for here. Because from my perspective, I feel like they’re probably going to have a big mistake on their hands. Because I’m not sure why they would decide to do this considering I mean, I know why they’re doing it. I know why the AI is doing it at the very least. Because the AI is doing it. You know why? Because we have a wall down. the wall uh the wall calculation with the AI is so strict as in if there is a town with a wall down most of the time the AI will go and they will attack that particular thief whatever it is it doesn’t matter what it is they will literally just go and attack it because they have well it it’s it’s basically hardcoded as far as I as far as I could tell uh they they just really really badly want to take that kind of stuff so yeah cuz I mean it’s true you know, it’s uh it is very much making them much stronger. They are much stronger in this situation because they have the ability to 100% go through a section of the defense where there is, you know, there used to be a defense, but now there isn’t. So, you know, it makes sense. Anyway, we are going to just speed things along a little bit here. Hopefully, my forces will be able to do damage to the battering ram. If not, then I’m going to have to take matters into my own hands like I did before. Nice, nice, nice. So, we got one of the siege towers down. I think we only had one actually to deal with. So, I don’t think we need to worry too much. And hopefully, we’re going to be able to get the other one. Uh, now bear in mind, the only reason why I don’t go on these things, by the way, um, you know, if you if you wondered, the only reason why I don’t go on these these siege engines, even though you can, um, I’ve tried it in the past many, many times, I’m not good at it, okay? I’m not good at it. And so, what’s going to happen is if I go on this thing, I am more than likely just going to waste ammo. I’m literally just going to waste the ammo and my forces are going to be looking at me like, “What are you doing, you imbecile? You’ve just wasted all of our stones.” Yes, that’s the kind of thing I’m talking about. I’m hopeful that these fellas will actually start attacking the battering ram because if they can attack the battering ram here. Oh, massive damage. Massive damage. Wow. Okay, that’s actually pretty pretty incredible. Uh yeah, I’m going to actually have to take this. Wa! 1,000 damage. Are you serious? 1,000 damage. That’s crazy. Wow. Okay. H, that’s amazing. Okay. Uh, the battery ram is almost destroyed. I need to take this. Nice. Is it dead? Yes, I think it’s dead now. There you go. Okay, so it’s completely dead. They will not be able to get the gate down now. And now they are going to be going over. Why am I sneaking? That’s so funny. Okay. Yeah. So, let’s let’s not sneak right now. Thank you, Bulgar. And uh let’s actually go over here. Now, this is our classic classic situation here. Obviously, we do want to make sure that we get to 275 in one-handed. So, I will try to kill this. Ah, okay. I was kind of hoping. Okay. Yeah, there there it is. 275. We made it. Okay, we made it to 275. That’s perfect. So now all I need to do is well either I stick with one-handed right now because it does kind of make sense to stick with it if we are going to consistently get close quarters combat or we go for our two-handed and we try to level that up some more which I think could be the play. I think that sounds like a pretty nice idea. But the question is are we going to be able to level it up at all because enemies are constantly blocking and everything. It’s going to be maybe kind of annoying. I’m not sure. Uh, we seemingly are doing okay here, though. Yeah. Okay. You know what? Let’s switch. Uh, yeah. Not a not a terribly big fan of what I’m doing right now with the two-handed. So, I’m a little bit I kind of kind of need to leverage its reach a bit more. Unfortunately, the enemy is being well, shall we say, I am being blocked. The path to the enemy is being blocked by all of our forces, which is really making a big difference, I suppose. Uh I think the enemy is actually Yeah, they are retreating. They are retreating right now. That is literally easy mode right there. That was that was extremely extremely simple for us just because we destroyed their siege engines. I believe that was pretty much the only reason why they had any issues whatsoever. And look at the amount of experience I can get from these enemies right here, cuz I can literally just hit them as they are exiting. And look at how much I can get. I might be able to get to Can I get to 215? I don’t think so. But I might be able to. Come on now. 208. 208. There we go. Nice. Yeah. There we go. There we go. 209. And one more. Boom. There we go. All right, that’s it. 210. Actually, pretty nice. Pretty nice that we were able to do that. And we got 10 renown for that. 10 renown. Yeah, I’m not entirely sure we get such a small amount of renown for this. But as you can see, the Sturge Sturgeians, so I was going to say Sturgeians, but yes, the Sturgeians have now decided to attack us. So, we are literally just going to be executing them as well. They are uh Yes, thank you very much. Okay, this their voice lines are kind of annoying, but cuz cuz they’re like, “Oh, yes, I choose to fight another day.” And yeah, I know. I understand that. I understand that. I’m sorry, but uh you’re going to be dying now. So, uh, you know, that’s, uh, that’s just how it goes. Unfortunate for them, isn’t it? Yes. Anyway, uh, I think actually what we want to do is we want to do a little bit of, uh, maybe converting of these guys. Maybe we want to do some converting of these guys. I’m not entirely sure to be honest. I mean, generally, I did say that I don’t really want to use other kinds of uh, other kinds of factions units, but I do want to have a number of prisoners so that we can convert them. You know what I mean? I want to always be con always be converting, you know. ABC’s always be converting. So, yeah, we we generally want to do that as much as we possibly can. Oh, these are really, really nice. Oh, nice nice horse armor as well. Do we have someone that actually needs horse armor? No, no one else is actually on a horse apart from me and older. So, yeah, don’t really need to worry about that too much. And we can literally just sell the rest, I suppose. And there you go. That was extremely extremely nice. Now, we do have a bunch of people here that uh Oh, yeah. I actually need to uh I need to I need to execute these people as well. Okay, so yeah, let’s actually do that. Uh but first of all, let me see. Uh I need to get these guys. Let’s get them over here. There we are. There we go. Okay. What’s this? Villagers from your thief of Uldren have started to have started going to a marsh on the marsh. Marsh. Marsh on the road to Theis to gather reads. Ah, Marsh. I thought I thought they meant March. Never mind. My bad. To gather reads for basket supplementing their earnings. Hunters from Themeis, owned by Chason, say they’ve been disturbing the local waterfell. Neither of you has titled to the marsh, or neither of them. But Femis says that its people started going there first. Your tenants say it’s not their problem if they figured out a better way to make use of the resources. Okay, so let’s have a look. This is a pretty interesting one. Okay, so we can increase our prosperity by 20 or increase relationship. Okay, decrease relationship. Okay, so basically decrease relationship a whole bunch or increase our prosperity by a huge amount. I am literally just going to increase relationship and increase prosperity. I mean these this has no downside. This particular uh thing telling chasan that you the people will get their reads elsewhere and stop frighting off the game. That is in my opinion the way to go. So, that is what we will do. And uh yeah, we do have a companion right there. But I’m looking for an iron belly if I can. I’m looking for an iron belly. That’s going to be the uh the play that I really want to go for here. We’re also going to be going for thick hides. As as you know, I have already gone for uh let me see here. Do Do we have Yeah, hard knock. There it is. Hard knock. 3 HP. We already have that. And then we also have uh this in one-handed. Wait a minute. Where is it? Is it is it one-handed or is it athletics? I think it’s athletics. Yeah. Well built. So, we have well built there. We have ignore pain. And now we have uh that other thing which we’ve just gotten. I’m just looking through the the throwing weapon tree here as well. But now we’ve just gotten thick hides as well. So, we have literally like what 18 HP or something like that. I think we have 18 HP increase which is really really crazy. And uh generally if we can use our two-handed even more, we are going to get paid. We’re going to get so paid. It’s going to be amazing. Uh so yeah, otherwise what we’re going to do is I have 74 loyalty here. What’s actually the problem with us? Doesn’t seem like we have any kind of issue, but yeah, what we need to do is we actually need to get Do we not have the ability to repair our our walls? Ah, 5% bonus, huh? Okay, let’s just do this. Let’s actually just do all of this stuff. It’s very annoying actually that Naar is not very good in terms of engineering skill. Yeah, we’re just going to have to make do. I guess we’re just going to have to make do. I’m going to slap a little bit more money in there as as much as we can and we’ll see what we can do here. But yes, we’re now going to execute going to execute everyone. Uh we’re not going to execute these guys or actually are they? No, this is a mercenary. So we’re not going to execute that guy because minor factions minor factions are just going to continue coming back. I’m I’m actually not entirely sure if that is also the the way that it works with um with the major factions now as well because for some reason I’m I’m seeing like a whole bunch of people that I I thought we’d executed coming back and attacking us again and again. So I’m uh kind of intrigued about that to be honest. Not sure how that’s how that’s really going to work, but yeah, we’re basically just going to leave all these people and we are just going to set sail here. Oh, actually wait a minute. I need to repair real fast. There we go. And now we can set sail. Nice. Okay. Now, uh I was actually on my way, as I said to you before, I was on my way to Galand. I was on my way to Gallet cuz I wanted to see what was actually going on there. I wanted to see what was happening with the uh the food situation and everything. And so, uh hopefully we’re not going to be interrupted again by a very rude siege. All right. So, what do we have here? Well, I am actually going to do the siege. Um, and I’m going to do this despite the fact that I know for a fact they are going to attack. Okay? I know they are going to attack me. I know they’re going to try to draw the garrison into us. And this is I’m I’m just I’m very much just letting this happen right now. Okay. Um, what a weird decision. I don’t know why they did this. I have no idea why they did this. Okay. Well, this is going to be very, very funny. Uh, we are actually going to be getting um I think I’m going to get my my pole arm back. I feel like the pole arm is really going to make a huge difference to how effective we are actually in uh in these in these little uh little battles here. Uh woo, that is a very nice lance. I’m going to use this. Question is, should I use this shield? I think we need a sh We need a shield, right? We need a shield. So, I think I’m going to exchange my throne weapons, even though these are amazing. Just going to make make sure to lock that just in case cuz I don’t want to lose that, obviously. Uh, but I’m going to use the two-handed as well. And we’re going to see what we could do here. I was kind of hoping they’d bring in the the garrison here. The main reason why I wanted them to bring in the garrison is so that we could literally just walk in and take the town. That’s it. Because I think we might be able to handle the entire garrison coming out. I took a look at the composition. They don’t seem to have anything super super dramatic or anything like that. So, personally, I feel like we might be able to do it. But, uh, yeah, this is really weird. This is really weird for them to do this. Uh, I do need some more focus points in writing skill as well. And that’s actually something uh there was a uh someone someone was talking in the comments and I I actually replied to it and we were having a bit of a discussion about the fact that there are so few focus points in the game now. And that’s actually something that I I thought of a while back, but I was like, hm, maybe it’s actually okay, you know, maybe it’s actually going to work out. And uh well, I feel starved. It does feel pretty starved of focus points right now. So, I’m thinking that maybe it would be cool if we had a system that allowed uh allowed some of uh you know, some some levels to provide you with additional focus points. So, I’m talking about uh focus points like Wow, that was a nice snipe right there. Okay, so yeah. Anyway, the point is focus points literally like every three levels you get, I don’t know, two focus points or something like that. Every three levels you get two focus points. Every other level you get one focus point and that’s pretty much it. So, from uh 36 9 12 15 18 etc etc you gain additional uh one additional focus point. So if you work that out, I’m not sure if that I’m not sure if that imbalances things too much. So obviously I haven’t really haven’t really done the calculation on this in any way. So, you know, just uh forgive me for a preliminary, you know, preliminary thought on this, but I personally felt like that seems pretty fun, you know, seems pretty fun to have that because then you’re going to be in a situation where you most likely have a couple of extra focus points just to throw in to your naval skills because of course. Yes. Yes. Actually, it’s true. the naval skills are actually um kind of absorbing a lot of focus points from your other skills, right? From your other stats. And so if you want to create a a character that’s really good in writing skill, like we do, we we obviously want to be really good in writing skill, right? I mean, a little bit at least. And we also want to be good at uh and thrown weapons. We want to be good at uh two-handed, you know, stuff like that. And maybe we want to be good at pole arms, too, because obviously pole arms are are doing pretty well for us right here. We’re doing really really nicely with pole arms in field battles. They’re really really nice. Oh, nice. Good. Look at that. 20 renown. That’s pretty cool. Uh but yeah, so thinking about that and thinking about the fact that we don’t have enough focus points cuz we’re we’re only getting one focus point, right? We’re getting one focus point every single um every single level, right? So every single level we get one focus point. And if you take a look at how that actually equals out, it’s actually kind of staggering because we don’t really have that much. We don’t really have the uh the amount that we would otherwise need to be extremely viable in a lot of different ways. Uh obviously the philosophy behind the the focus point system and the the new leveling system that was incorporated in Banalord itself is uh from my perspective at least I don’t know what the official standpoint is uh from the developer or anything like that. I don’t know anything about that. I’m just talking about my own personal opinion on what this is. Basically, it’s it’s making it so that you yourself, you your character has to rely on other people for certain skills. You can’t do everything yourself the best way possible. And I I guess to a certain degree, uh, Warband was a similar way. Um, because obviously you can’t really just, you know, run around with um a huge amount of medicine skill or anything like that. You can’t really do that. you know, cuz medicine skill you’re going to be, you know, you’re going to need to choose because otherwise if you go for, you know, 30 in intelligence in warb band, right, because you need 30 intelligence in warb band to be able to get maximum medicine skills like surgery, wound treatment, and so on and so forth. And so, if you’re spending 30 points, right, 30 stat points in or attribute points in intelligence, then you’re not going to be able to do that in strength, and so you’re not going to be as good at fighting in uh in melee combat. But if you take a look at my skills right now, just look at my skills right here. I have one focus point in writing skill. I have four four focus points in throwing, three in pole arm. I mean, I have a little bit in I have one in charm, one in medicine. I do need one in medicine, but if you see here, look, look at what I’ve done. I mean, obviously, mariner skill, I think mariner skill is basically a no-brainer. I think you should probably speck in a mariner skill every single time, but I’m not sure whether Bosen and shipmaster. I’m not sure if these things are actually are actually beneficial in uh in in some way. I I think that in general they are beneficial um in ah I mean there are they’re beneficial overall obviously but the thing is are you going to be able to level these things up fast enough for them to actually help you because obviously I have two focus points right in chipm skill two focus points in it I have a learning rate of six I’m at 46 I’m at 46 that that I have been I’ve been running around on the waves almost the entire game, right? And I only have 46 in shipmaster skills. So, I do think that it needs to be increased again. I I I at least in my opinion, I feel like it needs to be increased. Oh, unflinching is insane, though. Look at this. Look at this perk right here. Plus 100% to dis disembarkation speed. I mean, really, that is actually amazing. That is extremely extremely strong. Same thing with, look at this. Plus 20% to all force in missions. That’s also fantastic. Prisoners help to meet the skeleton crew requirement. I mean, that’s also amazing. That’s really good. Some of these perks are really nice, but unfortunately, um, it’s just it’s a huge amount of time investment to actually get to that point. You see, you need to get pretty, you know, a huge amount of experience investment to be able to make that work, which obviously is is the the main problem. I think if shipmaster skill was easier to level up, then the focus point investment wouldn’t be so bad. know. Hello there, Thurman. We will be murdering you as well, sir. Okay, so yes, as you could see, he’s he’s actually going in. I am literally just baiting all of these people into attacking me right now, which I think is actually pretty good. Don’t get me wrong. I think this is actually a pretty nice idea, but um I was kind of hoping that they’d bring the garrison. I’m still hoping that they’ll bring the garrison, but yeah, there you go. Anyway, so those are my thoughts on the focus points right now. I think I think we do need we do need more uh but yeah uh I’m not sure what the what the solution is going to be for that because I I do think that base game should have more focus points because people on console they don’t have the ability to get mods and I do think that it would be a nice idea to I I mean the funny thing is technically what we could do or what the developer might might be able to do is not even hardcoded not even hard code it. Just literally add an option in the options menu to allow players to customize how many focus points they get per level and just show what the show what the default is, you know, show what the default is and then uh literally just allow people to choose on a slider. And I feel like that’s probably going to be the best course of action. I don’t know. It feels to me like that’s probably going to be the best course of action most of the time because as it stands, you’re not really going to please everyone. I feel uh because the more hardcore players, they’re not really going to I don’t know. I guess I don’t think they really want more focus points. I think they want the game to be as hard as possible. But obviously, if they want the game to be as hard as possible, they can make it more difficult for themselves if they had a slider. You know what I mean? Same thing. It’s the same same exact thing. We’re getting some really nice snipes here. By the way, I really really like playing with this pole arm. I I don’t know what it is. This pole arm is actually insane in my opinion. I think it really makes a big difference if you have a long pole arm. Yeah, you’re just going to you’re going to feel the satisfaction much much more deeply. Uh and obviously the enemy is also going to feel that cuz you’re penetrating them, you know, super super hard. And uh they I mean they’re not going to I mean they’re they’re going to feel it in the next day. Obviously, they’re going to feel it the next day, but right now they’re not they’re not so much. Okay, here we go. Here we go. Maybe we can uh maybe we could get to 200 in pole arms. Highly unlikely to be honest. I’m not really planning on that actually. That was not really my not really my idea. And uh funnily enough, I mean the thing is this is exactly what I’m talking about with the pole arm. We can do we could just do so much damage to enemy cavalry. And I think that’s actually the main point here because enemy cavalry that’s our main weakness. I think I think my army right now has a weakness against those primarily because of course we do. You know, we are infantry archers. We have infantry and archers and that’s pretty much all we can all we can really do here. What is actually going on here? What do you see this woman? You see this woman? She’s running around without any weapons. She doesn’t have a weapon in this battle. Wow. Okay, that is actually kind of harsh. Okay, I’m going to level up my two-handed skill a little bit more while I can. Uh, generally anytime I can level up my two-handed, I’ll I’ll take it. You know, that’s pretty nice. 215. I think I’m probably just going to leave with that. I think that sounds fine. Not a problem. Yes, more influence, more renown for us. Very nice. Oh, I’m actually not going to not going to execute that guy. Uh, I’m actually not entirely sure if I should execute her. I guess I should. I mean, she’s running around without any weapons. It’s not not really good for her to do that. But there you go. This guy is also going to be executed. Thank you very much. It may very well be the case that we need to employ the minor faction strategy. There is a way to eliminate minor factions. Uh but you do need to be very very careful and you need to uh actually document what you’re doing with them. As in you need to keep them prisoner until you have all of them prisoner and then you need to execute them all at the same time. That’s basically the strategy that you want to employ against minor factions. That’s how you can eliminate them cuz otherwise they’re going to consistently respawn over and over again. At least uh that’s that’s how it is in theory. I have not done that in practice, but I’m assuming that that is the way to go. Otherwise, we can increase. Ooh, here we go. Shield wall formation. H, that sounds pretty nice. Okay. Yeah, we’ll go with shield wall formation increases. Even though I’m probably not going to really be doing that much with that. Is this guy actually coming in? Oh, he’s actually coming in. Okay. This is really, really weird. I’m going to literally just go in for an auto resolve here. There is no real need for us to really worry about that in any way. This is actually insane. I’m not entirely sure what these guys are doing to be honest. They are just throwing themselves against us right now. I I assume he just has no other course of action and they don’t want us taking Galen for some reason or another. I mean, oh no, no, there’s there’s an army. There’s an army. Okay, that’s fantastic. Okay, that’s wonderful. I’m I’m being very calm about this, but as you can see, the army literally brought in the garrison. So now we have to fight against 700, which obviously is not really not really what I wanted. I did want to fight against them more specifically when they had a smaller force. Uh but obviously we are just going to have to deal with this now. And uh generally this is going to be kind of difficult. This will be kind of difficult. Oh, actually wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. we might be able to uh take advantage of the environment because I haven’t really been doing that so far because we’ve just had complete stomps, big steamrolls. But now this is going to be a bit of a different situation for us. So what we’re going to need to do is we’re going to need to get over here. Uh are my forces actually going to get over here in time or are they going to just take way too long? I don’t know. Yeah. Yeah. I’m not a big fan of being over here actually. This is a bit too bit too flat. So, I’m thinking what we’ll do. Uh yeah, this is a bit annoying actually. I’m not sure. I guess we’ll go here and we’ll put our infantry here. And we’re going to have to put these guys. Let’s put them into facing facing the enemy. Can you actually face the enemy properly? The facing enemy command never works for me for some reason. Am I doing it wrong? I’m not sure. I don’t know. Every single time I I think to myself, “Oh, yes. I should uh I should probably face the opponent here and then I try to face them by literally putting you know putting the command out and uh yeah they are facing enemy. Okay, they are facing enemy right now. Okay, so my archers will hopefully be up here and they’ll hopefully be doing some damage to the opponent. I’m going to go out there with my spear and I’m going to try to snipe a couple of cavalry and we’re going to be putting up forces into a shield wall because these guys are going to take ages to penetrate any of our shields basically. Nice damage. Nice damage. Nice damage. Okay, that is really really nice. Wow. Yeah, some really really nice snipes here. Uh maybe we can actually do a little bit more. Ooh, that was very very lucky on my part. I could have died very quickly there. I could actually die extremely easily here if I actually make a mistake. So, uh oh dear me. Okay. Yeah. What have I gotten into, friends? This is not very good. Okay. Well, that’s actually not too bad. Okay. Be careful. Be careful. We don’t really want our guys to take huge amounts of damage here. I’m going to leave my forces in shield wall for the most part. You bastard. Okay, we’re going to be careful. Nice. Yeah, my archer is going to be taking quite a lot of damage from the opponent right now. This is not great. Need some more appropriate snipes. Unfortunate not getting too many head shot here. But we are killing the van Vandium bannonites. That’s kind of what we want. We want to kill the bannonites as best as we can here. Infantry former square. Horsemen Final charge. kill. are attack. What’s up? Reload. Ah, unto them. All right, we’re going to have to get out of here. We’re going to have to get out of here. That’s kind of sad, actually. Really, really sad. We’re going to have to say 39 troops. Okay. Uh, can we Yeah, we can actually be left alone. Okay. Uh, that is Say whatever you have. Wow. Okay, he’s actually going in. We’re actually going in versus him. Okay. Uh, I don’t think we can autoresolve this. I don’t think we can autoresolve this. We would have been able to do this on the Ooh, Hardy front line. That’s actually crazy good. Yeah, look at that. Plus five hit points to troops in our party. That’s incredibly nice, actually. really really good. Okay, kind of sad actually. Kind of sad that we weren’t really able to do much here. Um, what else can we actually do though? What else is there to do here with my focus points? I guess leadership is going to be the way to go now. Um, I could go for that extra point of two-handed though. Maybe we want to go for the the last point in two-handed. Uh, maybe that’s the plan. Uh, cuz leadership, what does that actually do for us? Leader of the masses. Yeah. No, not really. Not really. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. We’re just going to do that. So, we’ll do Hardy Front Line real quick. Then we’ll do this. Then we’re going to try to get away once again. Another 20 soldiers. That’s okay. That’s not a problem. That’s not an issue because we did so much damage. But unfortunately, we still ended up taking a loss. I guess that’s I guess that’s the reason why we actually filled out our garrison so dramatically. So, I’m going to go to my garrison. I’m going to pull out some some troops and then we’re going to come back here immediately. Oh, wait. Is he going to Oh, are you thinking what I’m thinking? Okay. What do I actually have? I have 55 husks remaining. I have 20 Nords sky chosen. Okay, that is Wait, wait, wait. What are you doing? Where’s he going? Is he coming back? Is he coming back? I I can’t. Yes, you’re coming back, sir. All right. Is he actually going to go into the town? That’s the question. Oh, this is perfect. If we can boom. Oh, yeah. There we go. Oh, this is is exactly what I was Ooh, yeah. This is revenge. This is revenge in Gala. This is absolute 100% revenge for how we’ve just been treated. That is wonderful. I love it. Okay, so we’re just going to remove this. Two ships is going to have to be enough. And they have Whoa. They have a lot of vessels. They have a lot of vessels right now. Okay. Uh yeah, the wind is in our favor. Oh, that’s actually hilarious. Okay. Uh yeah, this is really really dramatic. Okay. How are we going to do this? I guess we’ll just tell them to engage. Uh wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Here we go. Let’s tell them to engage something over there. I don’t know. And uh we’ll just put down our our sails. So, we’ll just put down the sails and we’ll just try to do a little bit of a maneuver here. Going to try and see if I can go over this way and then we’re going to go in for a nice little ram if we can. Yes. Use the ores in the half power just so that we can maneuver a little bit easier for us right there. And then use them in full power to go forwards at a much faster pace. Let’s see if I can get over there to the side of one of those opponents. We need to We need to be effective here. We need to be effective. If we are not effective, we’re going to have some uh pretty big issues, I feel. Okay, come on. Now, we still have the wind helping us slightly. And we’re distracting these guys quite dramatically. I mean, my forces should basically murder everything. Going to go here. Weak ram. Really? I’m surprised. Wow. Okay. I actually thought we we had a really really nice uh bunch of speed right there, but yeah, apparently not. All right. Well, uh this is as good a time as any to board the opponent. Try to do as much damage as possible to them. Uh we’re going to tell my own forces to charge. Here we go. Let’s do this. I have to be very careful here as well because obviously I’m low HP. Oh, hello. Okay. I have to be very careful here. I say yes. Okay. Well, this is going to be a bit of a problem, isn’t it? Hello there, friends. Okay. Yes, we will try to inflict as much murder on them as possible. There we go. Okay. This is going to be a bit problematic possibly. Heat. Heat. Hey. Yeah. Heat. die. I’ll tear your leg. All right, I think that’s basically it. Don’t you think? This is exactly what I was talking about when I said to you earlier in a previous episode, I think we could probably do damage against a significantly stronger force. So much so that we may even be be able to win against them in big big fashion right here. Look at this. I mean, obviously I’m taking some damage here and obviously generally it would be good if I was full HP, but I can’t really do much about that right now. Oh, okay. Yeah, I was kind of hoping that they would not do that, but oh well, never mind. It doesn’t really matter too much cuz we are indeed victorious. And uh that is that is very nice. That is very very nice indeed. And I’m actually surprised generally that we were able to do this so easily. But I guess I shouldn’t really be to be honest. I mean, as I said, I do feel like we are very very confident on the ocean waves. We have huge huge bonuses just because we are using units that are designed to be on the ocean waves. generally if we have anyone uh yeah uh if we have any opponent that actually isn’t like a Nord or whatever isn’t a Nord and is a Vandian or a Sturgian or anything like that and they’re not using a huge amount of their their own uh their own mariner troops then we will literally just have huge advantage there really really big advantage I I have no idea what it actually even does to be honest the advantage that you gain must not be it surely can’t be that that dramatic. I mean, yes, it’s definitely going to be impactful because otherwise, what’s the point? But yeah, I I’m generally um I I may have to look that up or something like that. But I I know that for a fact that the mariners are going to be able to survive in the water a little bit more and uh you know, stuff like that. But obviously, as it stands, look at look at what we are able to gain here now. We can get all of these. Wow. Huge amounts actually. What? Why do they only have trade cogs? What? This is crazy. Okay. Uh, yeah. I guess I’m going to literally take Should I take all of them? Can I actually take all of them? I can. Okay, that’s kind of interesting. Uh, what what my what is my speed going to be? My speed’s literally going to be like 1.0 or something like that. Yeah, it’s 1.8. Okay. Yeah, that kind of makes sense, doesn’t it? Yeah, that makes sense a huge amount. So, uh, yeah. Oh, Belgear. Belgear is actually uh they’re coming to attack us, aren’t they? Are they faster? Yeah, they’re definitely faster than us. But Belgear, he cannot catch us right now. Apparently, he’s he lost he lost sight of us or something like that. But yeah, I think personally I think that was actually kind of successful. I know. I know. You You may think, you know, oh, you ended up losing, you know, half your army, you know, stuff like that. That’s actually fine. I can I can get those units back. And the majority of our units are actually fine. Like for example, Huskals, Berserkers, Sky gods chosen. Those are the guys that I actually want to make sure that they live. But obviously I can’t really can’t really decide that. But most of the lower tier troops were chosen for the uh quote unquote getting away phase. So we’re actually looking pretty good right now. I’m going to limp back to our town and uh we’re going to sell all of our all of our ships and we’ll see what we actually get from this. And indeed, I am going to be uh stopping by the various villages and trying to get some more noble troops as well. Obviously, I’m probably I’m not sure I’m not sure what what I’m going to do next, but I I’d like to see how much cash we’re actually going to get for all these ships. All right, so we’ve arrived in the port at Valvik and we are now going to repair our ships. Make sure we get the uh the Bosa skill to 100, which is obviously pretty nice cuz this means that we have a plus 25% chance of capturing ships after bass and we also have a minus 15% chance to wait of trade goods in the ship’s cargo. Obviously, I don’t really know if that’s really that good. Uh daily bonus of 10 times 10 times character level experience to veterans. I’m not sure if we really want to do that. I think we maybe want to. Let’s do veterans wisdom. I I’m actually kind of wondering whether that’s going to be, you know, significantly powerful for leveling up our our companions, most specifically our uh our family members. You know, that’s really going to make a big difference hopefully. Anyway, we are just going to be selling every single other ship that we have here. These are going to sell for an insane amount as you can quite clearly tell. So, me actually limping back to our town, I think, was probably worth it, don’t you think? I think it was kind of worth it. So, we’re just going to sell all of this. We’re getting 76,000. Yes, we’re getting 76,000 actually. Pretty amazing. Uh, do we have anything here that I really want to buy? Is there anything here that I really want to uh I don’t think so to be honest. Most of the time uh our town does not have particularly good uh particularly good things. Uh, now what I’d love to see, actually, not sure if this is ever ever going to happen, but what I would love to see is us getting something like ship master skill or something like that for selling uh for selling ships or whatever or you know, something like that I think would be really really cool because obviously it ties into the fact that bosen skill already gives us kind of like a a little bit of experience whenever we repair and stuff like that. So I I felt like yeah, you know what, it would actually make a big difference, you know, it’ be pretty cool. Anyway, uh yeah, let’s just actually sell some stuff here. Don’t have a huge amount, unfortunately. But it’s it’s it’s what we it’s what we got, you know. We got some pretty nice uh pretty nice trade goods actually from the varieties of attacks we did. And indeed, we can now sell a lot of these things, too. This is going to be extremely easy for us. And there we go. 50,000. Nice. Okay. Yeah. So, what we’re going to do now, or what I’m going to do, is I’m going to go over here. This is the only village that actually has good relation with us as far as I remember. So, this one is not really going to get us that much. Um, but I’m going to just stick around there, try to get as many, you know, noble troops as much as I possibly can. And otherwise, we’re going to try our best, but we are going to be coming back and we’re going to try to attack the Vandians yet again. We’ll we’ll we’ll try and see whether that actually uh happens here. So, Engala, let’s have a look. He is actually dead. Yes, as you can see, he is actually dead. though. This is going to be very interesting to see whether he actually returns from the dead at some point. But otherwise, I thank you very much for watching and I’ll see you next time.
