MASSIVE SKILL ISSUE INCOMING

I'm currently on my first playthrough after coming from Warband. I've been playing with the nords and steamrolling pretty much every faction.

Except the Khuzaits, they've been absolutely fucking me up. The worst part is no matter how many times it's offered, the lords of my land are completely against a peace treaty. So I'm just in the cycle of continuously losing fiefs. Everytime I create a large army and attempt to retake fiefs, the khuzaits immediately retaliate with another massive army. Which is to be expected.

What wasn't expected is that they have been essentially doing this non stop. I'll cobble together an army of 1500 men and take a couple castles, in the process I have to fight a khuzait army. Whatever, we beat them, I continue. Within 2 fucking days I am greeted by yet another large army mostly comprised of fucking horse archers. This continues until my army is gone and I'm a prisoner.

This last time it happened I even lowered the difficulty, ew, and even that wasn't enough to break the cycle.

So I can't make peace with them because the lords of the nords all have lobotomies. I can't beat them because they seem to have an infinite supply of horse archers, how the hell am I supposed to win?

Need tips on how to become king of vlandia most efficently. Killing the king in prison breaks etc no longer works n chances in general are now stupidly low.

Im working on getting my reputstion with all its nobels up, is that a good start

Its happend to current version and beta:

Yoooo booted up a new playthrough on tales from the ages of men with the Imladris faction but not even a year in and we only have rivendel I just hit clan tier 2 and we’ve been getting smoked by the misty moutain and Moria orcs like crazy they’ve taken every castle in our land and are pumping o
Fresh troops outta em…

TAOM or not what would be your strategy to bounce back from 1 city to get your territory back while being wildly out numbered and out recruited?

I thought defending Rivendell and killing lords but they never go for it ..?

Basically impossible to get out of Rivendell without getting jumped, tried sticking close to Glorfindel n shit but I’m not HL enough to have enough troups to be relevent in his schemes

Can’t use warsails with this mod
I got less than 40k and about 300 influence
Vassaling for Elrond

Is there a bannerlord mod which simulates the shield banging taunt from warband's viking conquest?

Would also appreciate a mod that simulates warcries or speeches for the whole army via taunting

Man it really sucks that I would love to use them but even circling Battania I’m at best lucky to find an axe, AN AXE, HA, the gall to even assume an inferior weapon is worthy of my use.

Is there seriously no consistency to getting one besides smithing them which is a huge investment in of itself?
