Ah, true, man, it's been a long time since I played Warband...
By the way, another question, what are your tips on defeating the Third Legion Outpost? I know you can siege it with the help of a Visavo and his troops, so, what's your suggestion on the kind of troops I should bring.
I was thinking of bringing good archers and cav archers and let them use all their ammo and just let the infantry and cavalry stand closer and hold position (while using shields).
i used elintoran troops with a whittling method. this method saves a loth of troops i mean theres a 98 percent troop survival
what ye need
1. tanks
2.archers , optional but recommended : elintoran archers ( crimson archers, highelf warden)
3.cavalry- not particularly needed but i assume you have some
4.patience (don't have one? get sum)
formation
ye gonna have to used a lot of archers.. and i mean a lot. in battle ye divide yer troops in rows
1st infantry with big ass sturdy shields.. ye wanna place them in just before the bridge not on the bridge. ya know as tanks
2nd the archers a few paces behind the infantry
3rd cavalry behind the archers a few paces
what ye do
now that they are in formation your target are the archers above they the real killers, archers will take care of them assuming that your infantry are tanking the damages, now those infantry wont hold so when their shields get rekt even just one
retreat tactical retreat if ye will, around this time range fellas above the walls will be lessened (30-60 kills) supposedly rinse and repeat make formation kill bastards with bows now never
ever charge your troops unless you want your death rate to rise to max. now after a few times you're doing this even when the archers of the enemy are dead continue with this tactic. that enemy is deadly i say you you will have to let your archers destroy the shields and the people behind them you will have to let your archers unload all of their arrows then retreat to replenish nowrinse and repeat
QnA
Q: is this worth it?
A: if you want no deaths then ye
Q: elintoran troops? do i have to?
A: well it is recommended if you do not want a hard time
Q: when should i retreat?
A: when your archers' arrows are depleted, and when somebody got knocked the f*** out if you don't want deaths
Q: how many can i kill each round?
A: around 30 they have shields unless you go infront of them they will not drop their shields
additional info: you can use this whittling method even in normal battle but putt your archers on a higher terrain and your cavalry infront so that when the enemy gets near charge your cavalry then when ye get sum kills just retreat rinse and repeat, if you have 100 troops and the enemy has 300 use this. your target no deaths
