Bad North Guide - Understanding & Countering The Enemy | How To Play Bad North

I'm 47 precent way through my campaign this really helps! Thank you

Only the OGs remember when we got red and black shielded dudes instead of jumpers

This content is really well made, this channel deserves more subscribers

great video, i love bad north but it still needs some updates (feels kinda empty if u know what i mean)

Good thing that i found you, just bought the game yesterday

Huscarls might just be a guy with a shield,sword and an axe but they are actually really good at melee better than those enemy shields.Even your elite infantry can lose some units to 2 of those guys

This content is very well done I will subscribe hopefully you make more content soon.

btw ive seen archers knock enemy infantry in the water at all levels, they just need to be parallel with the boat

The game is basically rock paper scissors with extra steps :) i love it to death shame the chinese are blatantly parodying the concept in their scam of a game and their dumb as hell ads

Moral of the story, Just get exp long pointy stick boi's and heavy bow boi's with 1 vanguard to beat the game with 12 man unit upgrade and you'll be fine lol

man what a cool game, i wish they add types of units and tech trees like for archers u advance into cross bow men which deal high damage but slower reload time, or slingers that knock enemies out but have less damage, or long bow men with more range
for the infantry we can have: javelins,which they would throw before combat, dual wielded swords which make more damage and put them at a better situation against gaints or we have heavy bois bigger shields more hp but slower
for pikemen we can have longer pikes but they take time to set, spear men with shields shorter spears but with shields, and and a pole arm upgrade to arm them with halberds and whatever weapons at hand so they can move while fighting and deal more damage than normal but are slower and try to stay in ofrmation

from your personal experience, what is the hardest combo of boat placements/wave compositions you've ever encountered? in terms of 2 or 3 units, i find brute archers with ninjas and huscarls as escorts to be the most challenging, since they sort of cover each other's weaknesses

I wonder how many people just watch these kinds of tutorial videos to look at the details of cool games

thanks😃😃

I love this game, ultra hard, all achievements

This game is amazing. So deceptively deep.

New enemy Idea:
Prio: Houses
Wea: Bow
Abl: Fast

archers can flank shield bois. if you shoot at them from two different angles, they will have to pick a side to block and get an arrow to their back

İ see what you did there with ring of command and rousing speches

I’ve bought this game 5 times (pc, mobile, switch, mobile, steam deck) and this is a great refresher to get back into it. Thank you

Hey bro does this guide work with mobile edition?

No one have enemies

Small tidbit I found about Viking Melee vs Pikemen

If you're facing either on flat ground with flat tiles adjacent to your Pikemen, Vikings will actually circle/surround your Pikemen and attack them from all angles.

🛡 I don't understand why the Red Shield enemy was removed from the game. In the Jotuun edition trailer, there's also their icon in the commander kill stat and they have resistance to level 1 skills and their close combat capabilities are as good as brute
I think it's strong and sufficiently differentiated. Shield 🛡

Do brutes attack houses?

This guide is great. I hope you’ll upload more guide/video about other games as well

I also saw normans and infantry call reinforcements.

Use Sure footed Trait they stop brute archers

Every time I hear those god forsaken ballista bows, I get PTSD every single time from how devastating they are
Whiiiiich is why I automatically run fleet footed infantry at any possible interval lmao

i remeber seeing the dual wielders for the first time and having my pike squad deleted because i didn't know they would jump on my units

The way to fight brut archer : none, run, fast, get cover 💀
Thanks.. at least I know I'm not that stupid, I thought I was the only one didn't found a counter

I won't lie, when I first played this game, i thought the brutes were just supposed to be ghost like enemies since they have a lighter color pallette for their design & didn't seem affected by arrows, so i sent my infantry force to deal with them & watched as they got demolished by the by the jolly grey giant! Fortunately i didn't lose the commander, but honestly looking back at it, it was a really nice detail that the devs added to the design of the brutes to make you underestimate them when u first encounter them. Definitely gonna take notes for that if i ever make my own game.

The things bad north should have:
Bring back the berzerkers.
Have icons on the non-trait commanders
Have a new island type (armory: eg: phalanx upgrade for pikes, giving them spears and kite shields, making them a pike/infantry hybrid)

I remember calling brute archers ballista bois, now i call em brutes with greatbows

"Understand yourself and understand your enemy and you shall not fear the result of 1000 battles!"
-Sun Tzu, The Art of War

I always try to had a squad of pikeman with the tree banner and equip them with the javena

I think the most fitting name for the dual wielder is the barbarian

The thumbnail is TUFF

i think the jumpers are the new berserkers seeing they leap into battle like feral beasts and don't wear heavy armour and want bloodshed evident as they don't bother pillaging and plundering and just wait for the opportunity for murder

Pikes are the absolute worst unit except in a few scenarios where they are simply OP, archers with knockback and comand ring is absolute best unit barely worse than infantry against range, infantry is just extremely decent all around except against brutes

Mountain trait should have a brute archer commander in archer squads =)
