I did a companion only playthrough in Bannerlord, one of my favorite ways to play in Warband. I started with Bannerlord tweaks with 10 companions + 5 every clan tier. This meant I ended up with 40 companions at max clan tier. I then went all the way and removed the limit. Ended up with 75 companions before deciding that was enough (for reasons

Companions only. I recently watched a video of a companion only playthrough and it looked hard but fun so I have tried to do similar, I don't use mods as I am on console, I have a 10 man wrecking crew, my sister is almost 18 and I am almost clan tier 4 which increases my companions by an additional member. Everybody is decked out as much as

I see people say this a lot. Yes, you can easily paint the map in one characters lifetime. But you don't have to. You can also take your time, roleplay, only take/keep fiefs that make sense, focus on building up your clan, and imo, get a whole lot more out of this game.

The rationale behind this setup is that companions are essentially immortal, you can use them to charge and do massive damage to any group. The setup maximizes 1-hit kills (both mounted javelins and weapons I pick will deliver 1-hit kills on most targets). I pick based on weapon skill, riding and throwing.

Companions have a number of benefits as you progress further into Bannerlord. From the beginning of the game, they're a strong soldier that can't die unless death is enabled in the campaign options.

This is my least favorite part of the game, useless companions, at least when it comes to the attributes you need in your party, like Steward and Medicine. I wanted to recruit a "Healer" today, and she had 2 intelligence, and 3 in all other attributes ːlunar2019deadpanpigː . What kind of healer was she, with her most important attribute being the weakest... It feels like you are forced to

Rare companions contain 1-2 abilities, while common companions contain only 0-2 abilities. An ability can be either a bonus or a companion knowledge modifier. Bonuses vary in their quality, and come in three varieties: • Beginner level. • Experienced Level. • Grand level. The higher the level of the bonus, the better effect it has.

To create more parties for easy raising of armies as companions rarely ever refuse a call to form one. And if you are really smart and are using mods that end some of the really bad game design choices, companions are great for your actual army as they end up being far better than any troop in the game. 2.

Have them run missions for you. I like having 7-9 companions running missions. Mission running companions are a great way to cut costs on the main party, increase relationship, increase companion skills, and easy way to get money. They also return to you anywhere on the map once their mission is done. 4.

When I appoint a governor I try to get one with the same culture as the town. But for some reason not all my companions seem to be able to be appointed to the governor role. Even when one of my companions could previously be appointed to a town, for some reason they can not be appointed anymore. Does anyone know why this is happening?

Click that to open a file explorer (or linux equivalent in this case) window showing the game's files. For Bannerlord, within that window will be a folder called "Modules." Take any mods you've downloaded from Nexus or whatever, unzip and move them to that folder. If all went well they will then show up on the mods tab of the Bannerlord launcher.

When you lose a battle... well, you have to start the whole process over either by spending money and time on new companions, or spending money and time on trying to locate your former teammates around the entire map. If death on battlefield is on, return to point 3. Maybe I got the idea of "companions only" in a wrong sense, but that's a brief
