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.
