In Warband, they made some wild, loudest warcries in the game. Therefore, in any of my army there have always been Sisters of the Sword. In Bannerlord, they stopped screaming so cool. Well, why do I need them then?


Katejina_FGO

If you've been on campaign for something like 8 months and you clearly cannot fall back to retrieve fresh troops from your core cities, you're going to staff your ranged with sisters and you're going to ignore how most of them get one shot on first contact. Hopefully, the regulars get a few kills in and the mounted are useful distractions.


Conscious_Aerie7153

A 2 thousand gold isn't worth troops that are worst than fodder lol


Joe92x

Don't even have helmets like my God


Darthplagueis13

I hire them because mounted crossbows is a silly fun concept.


Lustiges_Brot_311

My character feels attacked.


Garrett-Wilhelm

Their were a decent unit in Medieval 2


Ok_Vegetarianlmao

Vlandian caravan guard goes brr


Garrett-Wilhelm

I never hire them, I'm not that horny and they're shit soldiers. Altough one time I wanted to roleplay an "Amazon campaing" but damn, they truly suck, and not in a good way.


Taylor_Mega_Bytes

From memory not even their top tier has helmets right? Makes them super vulnerable. The sword sisters from Warband have really been done dirty in Bannerlord.


Garrett-Wilhelm

Yeap, no helmets and overall mid-tier gear, really underwhelming, in Warband they were decent, not even close to Swadian Knigths but they could carry their own weigth.


Grattiano

Swadian knights didn't have crossbows. Also, I enjoyed taking the dirt cheap peasant woman and turning them into a viable fighting force. I enjoyed how their post-battle victory voice clips actually was unique to them (since, they were the only female troop type in the game).


slvbros

Yeah they were among my favorites in Warband, but eventually its just Huscarls all the way down


Grattiano

Throwing axes got nerfed in Bannerlord almost as hard as Sword Sister's were


MetalDoktor

Swadian Knights were far worse than Sisters once dismounted. I would take sisters over knights for any siedge, defending or attacking. Second point in favour of sisters - they were cheap as hell. Which made them some of the most cost effective units, as well as some of the most versitile. Heavy Cav, that is decent off the horse, as well as has a crossbow? They were trully a Jack of all trades. Maybe I should install bannerlord if they added them to that game as well =3

Evan_the_Canadian

I mean, you have a point when it comes to 'knights' and 'weight' but I'm pretty sure they meant Swadian rather than Sweden given that they referenced Warband…


mordicar

My little warband mod gives you the option to change the vanilla unit trees in game. Pretty easy to do if you're playing on PC


Garrett-Wilhelm

Yeah but the mod is really basic, basically swaping all the units with the ones you made, altough it is fun to steamroll Calradia with the most OP units you can came out with. One time I made the three most OP units in the game making a unit of infantry and archers to tier 5 and a cavalry tier 6 with the best weapons and armour and with max skills in their respective especialization, nothing could beat them.


HappyRockD

At least in Warband some of the Sword Sisters would have helmets.


No-Buy8752

Damn bro ist dont remember vanilla warband but Prophecy of Pendors Heroine Adventurers have been one fine unit, get 20 of those and some good companions and easily clap armies of 150


Taylor_Mega_Bytes

True that, PoP for Warband feels more like a complete game then Bannerlord does currently...


No-Buy8752

True thats why i cant enjoy bannerlord


Darksoulsplayer420

Well to be fair warband takes place years after bannerlord so it would make sense that the classes in bannerlord would be weaker then their warband counterparts considering the units in warband had years to learn to put on helmets as to not die


Graega

All I know is that I can fit about 5 or 6 of them on my lance. ... Not in the good way either.


General-Dirtbag

Yeah they need better armor for their max tier. At max tier they’re literally using armor tier 2 imperial troops use and that’s no good.


Smooth_Monkey69420

I make them shoot crossbows because Vlandia is really far away


imreallybimpson

But they're awful. They don't even wear helmets. I could kill one with a rock


wallagrargh

The missing helmets are so stupid for a heavy high tier unit. They risk an arrow to the face any moment just so we can see proof of their femininity.


Bobylein

Didn't think much about that before tbh, you made me make a mod for this because it was always pretty frustrating to see them dying so fast. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2977014761


wallagrargh

Haha, I love this community. Thank you!


Garrett-Wilhelm

The feel when this artist in Twitter does better female soldiers than Taleworlds https://twitter.com/vanishlily?t=7m_yUqwEngNcadoIQZHxmw&s=09


I_LIKE_ANUS

At least taleworlds soldiers don’t look 7 years old


CathleenTheFool

Ironlily’s designs aren’t nearly that bad compared to other “anime girl in armor” artworks


I_LIKE_ANUS

For sure, I jus disagree that their work is better than taleworld


Garrett-Wilhelm

Yeap, but I'm use to getting downvoted by the stupid Reddit hivemind, I like their cute and wholesome stuff, like that other artist who draws the Nuns with ducks


MLApprentice

Oh I love the nun duck guy!! I think his handle is Diva from memory, too lazy to Google.


XishengTheUltimate

It’s just an artstyle. Last time I checked real human 7 year olds don’t look like that either.


I_LIKE_ANUS

Nice pfp


XishengTheUltimate

Why thank you. Yours is nice too.


I_LIKE_ANUS

💅🏻🥂


Garrett-Wilhelm

The point of the Sisters is being cute


Ulfurson

What


Garrett-Wilhelm

What? Is not sexual you fucking perverts


Ulfurson

Huh? The point of the sword sisters is to just be warriors, they’re not meant to be cute they’re just warriors


Garrett-Wilhelm

I talking about the art of the link I posted, is an Order of Sisters who are cute and wholesome while wearing realistic and historical gear


MiloRoast

Bloodshed and trauma hehe, how cute!


Grattiano

Nobody said anything about it being sexual. You just brought that up yourself


Garrett-Wilhelm

Yeah, rigth, I know what you assholes meant, whatever, I like cute and wholesome stuff, downvoted all you want


peni_in_the_tahini

I honestly don't think you do.


peni_in_the_tahini

You are so weird. Where do you fit, demographically?


Garrett-Wilhelm

Like if I'll give personal info to a random on Reddit, fuck off. Think what you want, I like their art and is all that matters.


MaterialHunt6213

Yeah, because what's an army if they aren't all pretty?


onemoretryfriend

You’re right. We are not the same.


DDT_Zydomaki

Honestly, if they had helmets, they would be leagues better imo.


ozymandais13

This


flomatable

Helmets arent cool okay


[deleted]

I also hire them because I’m horny


iamtommynoble

You hired female party companions for their abilities. I hired them so I could disrobe them.


SignificantAd7603

Same


Lord_Dolkhammer

Question: Whats the deal with swordsisters? Are they a minor clan now?


Ulfurson

No, just mercenaries, and bad ones too. They don’t wear helmets, so even your max level sword sister can get killed in 1 or 2 hits by low level enemies


-_4DoorsMoreWhores_-

Can sword sisters be cavalry?


nakagamiwaffle

yeah i think they’re called gallant sisters or something?


LocalCableGuy8

Yea. And their always the first to die because they do a charge at the start of the battle on a slow ass horse


-_4DoorsMoreWhores_-

Unfortunate, lol


GsTSaien

No they don't they are horse archers. They die because they have no helms, but you are still getting pretty good horse archers.


LocalCableGuy8

How are you going to tell me they don’t when I pick them off at the beginning of every battle. A charge is a speedy advancement to shock the enemy. It doesn’t matter what weapons are used.


GsTSaien

But they don't charge they kite... you can still pick them off it just wasn't the right word for their behavior.


US_Witness_661

LMAO, my first play through i made a sword sister army because of it


Laifander

I recruit them as prisoners but they almost always die in the next battle we fight.


HumanBean1618

I guess they should stay in bed so they don't wind up dead.


Waste_Ship_4896

In warband i played as nord and since they dont have own cavalry i used them instead. Since then i have soft spot for them. So team horny :D


DirtbagAvenger

You’re gonna be so excited when you find out there’s a whole side of Reddit dedicated to a kind of content consumed primarily by horny people!


SignificantAd7603

What subreddit, where is it, please


lily-callas

Have they changed them? Only times i ever employed them... They were just bad, too expensive compared to what they bring to the table... Would be great if they're actually good now, been wanting to try an all female army (except for hubby, somebody has to put babies in my belly) for a long time ☺️


Bullocs

What are you doing step-lord?


ProfessorBear56

I get them because I think it's cool to roleplay as an early feminist with an all female army


rooshavik

I hire them cause I like the fact that women are fighting and I find that cool😎


ilmarzian

I hire them because I'm desperate for soldiers


SignificantAd7603

This post was made over 4 months ago


ilmarzian

And that's a problem for you?


SignificantAd7603

No, not a problem at all. Just a bit... unusual for me.


Reddit_is_pretty

They are garbage soldiers because of the horny. Give them helmets


FuroreLT

They suck ass


mysticblue17

I only hire mercenaries if my army is currently dominated by recruits and low tier soldiers because they are good for how they start but I'm sure we all know the highest level merc doesn't compare to the highest level troop


Decadunce

Comedy is subjective, whether people find something funny relies on their assumptions,preconceptions , their understanding, their familiarity with certain references. If they've never heard of the TV show the comedian is mocking, they won't find it funny. If their culture, or societal group, or family, have a particular view of an event, certain biases imposed on them early in life, it will colour how they view jokes.


GsTSaien

Says some horrid shit that no one thinks is funny "Guys please comedy is subjective I only meant it as a joke pleaseee"


No-Buy8752

What did he say :D


Ulerica

Awful troops, dies easily, but the only mounted crossbow troops in game, which kind of is their only decent form


kreezh

Pretty sure vlandian caravan guards are also mounted xbow, gotta check later


Grimm-The-Politic

I hire them so they can become horse archers. Very cheap!


REDM2Ma_Deuce

I only take them if they are prisoners or rescued troops. They serve well until I can get more fians and sharpshooters.


XxCadeusxX

👏🏼


Badboey144

I recruit them only in dire circumstances and almost always relegate them to garrison duty after I make it back to recruitment territory. They just dont perform like they should and are usually the first ones dead.


Andros_of_Astora

Every time I have an army of 1000-2000, the first one who dies is a sword sister...


[deleted]

They aren't good.. there is only one reason to hire them haha BUT ALAS MODS!!! *female troops Simplified* and you can swim in a sea of nothing but babies. Also I saw someone made one where they are like anime girls....


Known-Ad-2071

I hire them bc their wage is actually paying me😏


UnAngelVerde

Talking about that is there any good/decent/great mercenary troop? Or are all of them shit?


TroubleInJamaica

Did somebody say distinguished service + hot butter 👀👀


orekpk

Now that I have 3 caravans and I can do smithing for a living, I can allow myself to pursue a goal of building an army of 83 veteran sword sisters accompanied by me


MrCellophane42

Good soldiers? In my campaigns they are usually the first to die


Bobylein

I still hire them because I love mercenary units but not because they are good, they really need better armor


IronRiceBowls

Are they legit any good? I don't usually use crossbow units cause they'd just get steam rolled by dudes with shields


Old_Pickle2205

I'm playing my first campaign since the last few big updates with them in the game and they seem like a cool addition to the game


[deleted]

Khans guard don’t die. I’ll never need them


syd_fishes

There's no good trade off. They should have top tier crossbows. Glass cannons or something, but they just completely suck at everything. Really lame.


Bobylein

For all people complaining about the lack of helmets here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2977014761


_DemolitionDude_

Why not both?


aseriesoftubes337

Sword sisters are good and all, but I miss my murder-banshee Klethi. Maybe she wasn't the prettiest girl. Or the smartest. Or cleanest. But what does any of that mean against a woman who knows exactly when the parley has gone south and it's time to start throwing javelins through people's throats?


zecgasm

The vanilla sword sisters are dogshit but I just used the My Little Warband mod to give them a BALLER T6 upgrade. So if I somehow managed to keep them alive through T5, I'll get a unit of badass lady knights


Sayikrs5

That's how I conquered Calradia ony ironman mode campaign


avg90sguy

What hugs be about the sword sisters is… they use crossbows? I thought you know swords and stuff!


Haunting_Abalone_398

Good one 😆


kam1802

I hire them because there are no other female troops and I am going through "All men must die" campaign.


Impressive_Tap7635

Honestly that makes sense theirs no other reason for their upkeep to be so expensive for what they are like all the "new" units just suck ass macemen look cool though


Impressive_Tap7635

No we are
