Bannerlord Party and Kingdom Start
When to take a fief, when to mercenary, and how not to starve a 200-stack.
Early game
Tournaments, escorts, hideout clears. Reputation in one kingdom beats wandering the whole continent.
Battles
Hold a line, flank with horse, keep the archer angle. You are a captain, not a deathmatch hero — unless you are, and then don't die.
Mercenary vs vassal
Mercenary pays and teaches wars. Vassal gives fiefs and obligations. Kingdom is the endgame tax.
Sieges
Bring numbers, food, and a reason. A heroic 80-vs-400 ladder rush is a reload.
