How to Increase Party Speed/Move Faster in Mount and Blade: Bannerlord

Party speed is something that is going to affect your whole play-through in Mount and Blade: Bannerlord. You are going to have to move across the map basically the entire time that you play. Whether you plan on being a trader, bandit, lord or conqueror it is always ideal to move as fast as possible on the main map.

This guide will show you some of the ways that you can increase your party speed in Bannerlord to help you get to that castle defense even quicker, or move forth to take settlements for yourself and your faction.

What is the Party Speed in Bannerlord and What Affects it?

In Mount and Blade: Bannerlord when you are not in a town or participating in a battle you will find yourself on the main map screen. When you select a destination you can see that your entire party will be moving across the map, identified as your character model. You can also see that there are other parties moving across the map. Your party speed is the speed at which you can move around on this map. This has nothing to do with how fast you will be able to physically move within a battle.

There are a range of factors that can influence how fast (or slow) your party moves on the map. Factors such as the total amount of trade goods and their weight within your inventory, what types of troops you have in your party, the terrain you are walking on and even the time of day! In terms of terrain and time of day; you may have already noticed that your party is moving slower whilst travelling through forest areas. There is also a negative party speed buff when moving through snowy areas and through the desert as well. Planning your route can be the difference between that army catching up to you, or you leaving them in the dust.

Ways to Increase Party Speed in Bannerlord

There are multiple ways that you can improve the speed at which your party travels on the map. I will go over a few of them in dot points to make it clearer what you need to do, then go into detail if necessary.

Reduce Weight of Inventory

The weight of all of the items in your inventory actually has an impact on how fast your party can move in Mount and Blade Bannerlord. On the trade screen you can see in each trade good you purchase there is a weight value associated with it. All of the items together will affect how fast you can travel. Along with a general weight limit shown at the top of the trade screen, you should try to keep it low if you want to move around fast.

If you’re planning on trading across the world map, you are probably just going to have to bite the bullet and take the slow movement speed. Either that, or buy a bunch of horses to carry the trade goods.

Avoid Holding on to Herd Animals

While we are on the point of trade there is another thing you can do in order to keep party speed high. You should try to avoid bringing herd animals such as sheep or cows along with you on your journeys. Whilst it may be a good idea to have 1 or 2 as a backup for when the food stocks run low, they will slow your party down significantly. So only bring these animals when you think it is absolutely necessary.

Change Your Game Difficulty Settings

If you want a quick way to increase your party speed you can do this within the game settings. When you first set up your campaign there are a few settings to choose from. One of these settings affects the speed at which your party can travel. If you’re halfway through a playthrough fear not! You can still change these settings in the middle of the game. To do this open up the Pause menu with the ESC key. Now, select the Campaign Options . On this screen you should see the option Map Movement Speed near the bottom of the options menu.

There are three different speed options you can select under Map Movement Speed . This will make your party either the default speed (hardest), 5% faster (Easy) or 10% faster (Very Easy). Experiment with the settings and find the one that suits you. If you want to move as fast as possible this setting is a must-change.

Recruit Lots of Calvary Units and Equip a Horse!

Did you know that the type of units that you have apart of your army actually affect how fast you can move? If you have a lot of infantry units as opposed to a lot of troops on horseback then you are going to move a lot slower. An entire army of cavalry will speed through the countryside, catching up to everything in front of it and being able to escape any threats coming their way.

If you are really interested in moving around the map fast, you’re going to have to grab a lot of units that are riding horses. Building on this, you should also equip a horse for your player character. You will move instantly a lot faster if you equip a horse to your character rather than running around on foot.

Skills and Culture Bonuses that Effect Party Speed

There are a few different in-game mechanics that can influence how fast your party can move on the world map. To clear something up straight away, there is no skill that you can increase which relates to party speed. That isn’t to say it doesn’t help to level them up in terms of perks you can unlock, but raising your athletics, riding or scouting skill will not increase your party speed on it’s own. (The only exception to this is the Scouting skill after you get the perk at level 275 called Uncanny Insight). As I said, there are perks and also culture specific bonuses that will increase your parties speed.

When you create your character you are tasked with choosing your character’s culture. Along with the starting location of your character, each culture has different advantages and disadvantages. The two cultures that affect party speed and their bonuses are:

• Battanians: If your choose the Battanian culture your party will move 50% faster through forest areas. Great for quick getaways or cornering your enemies.
• Aserai : The Aserai culture has the benefit of having absolutely no speed penalty in desert terrains. Although this is only really helpful for that side of the map, it can give you an easy end of the map to defend or claim for yourself.

Get Perks to Increase Party Speed in Bannerlord’s Map

Another easy way to get that speed level up is by taking some of the speed-related perks. There are a few different perks across the various skills to pick through. I’ll save you the trouble of seeking them out and list all of the party-speed related perks right here:

Full List of Perks

Whilst every perk doesn’t increase party speed, they will all help keep you moving quicker across the map.

Keep Morale High

Your party’s morale will also have a direct effect on how fast your party can move on the map. A happy army is a fast army. Some of the ways you can ensure that morale stays high withing your army is:

• Through the many perks which increase morale in an army (most of them are in Leadership)
• Continuously win battles
• Have a wide variety of different foods available in your inventory
• Don’t recruit bandit troops or prisoners

If you really want to up the speed instantly you are probably best equipping a horse to your character and changing the campaign difficulty options as mentioned. Throughout your play-through you are going to get faster and faster as long as you are increasing your characters riding and scouting skills and getting the perks related to party speed. Keep an eye on perks surrounding party/movement speed and grab them when you can in order to become the fastest party in Calradia!

This page is regarding the travel speed on the campaign map of Bannerlord Online . This does not affect battles, walking in cities, villages and so on.

Travel speed on campaign map [ ]

The base speed is 3.0. For each troop in your Party, your travel speed gets reduced by 0.01. This also includes wounded troops.

Being wounded or having wounded troops does not cause additional loss in travel speed.

Animals, like pigs, sheep and cows decrease travel speed.

Horses in item inventory may impact travel speed.

Mounted troops may impact travel speed. This depends on skill perks.

Other sources that can cause a loss of movement speed:

• Weight mechanics: Read about weight mechanics HERE ;
• Forests: Causing the player party to decrease in movement speed;
• Snow: Also causing the player party to decrease in movement speed, although it has less penalty than in Forests;
• Crossing bridges: Another way to slow down your travel speed.

Before Bannerlord, there was Warband . This classic RPG is still popular to this day, thanks to its extensive modding community and various expansions that add more content than Bannerlord currently has.

RELATED: Mount And Blade 2: Bannerlord - All Factions, Ranked

Released in 2009, there is still good reason to play Warband, especially if your PC isn't able to handle Bannerlord -- there are still some optimization problems with TaleWorlds Entertainment's newest title. If you are looking to experience Mount & Blade for the first time, here's what you need to know to get started.

10 Mod Your Game

There is no real reason to be playing Native Warband in 2021. Mods totally transform the game, pretty much into whatever you want.

Lord of the Rings? There's a mod for that. Wizards and flintlock rifles? There's a mod for that. The base game is quite dated at this point (it is over a decade old) but the mods still open up a wealth of possibilities to enjoy this classic RPG. You can check out some of our recommended mods here .

9 Character Creation Is All-Important

The choices you make while building your character will impact your entire playthrough. Those initial stats in horseriding or one-handed weapons will sculpt the way you play.

Take some time to read over some guides ( we've got one here ) about how to build your character based on what sort of gameplay you're after. You could stack points into the bow to create a Robin Hood lord, or opt for a two-handed Berserker playthrough.

8 Do Tournaments In The Early Game

Tournaments are just about the easiest way to get started in Mount & Blade. Even if you're not too competent with your sword and shield yet, you should still try and win tournaments whenever you see them appear in a city.

The rewards are massive, often useful gear, armor, or weapons, and you can win loads of money if you bet on yourself to win. You do actually have to win, of course, but this is also good practice for the battlefield.

7 Mercenary Or Lord? It's Up To You

Heading into the middle parts of the game, once you've earned some renown and coin via tournaments or by beating up Sea Raiders, you have a choice to make. Will you go it alone as a mercenary warlord, or join one of the many factions available to you?

In native Warband, each faction has its strengths and weaknesses: the Nords, for example, have some of the best infantry, whereas the Khergits boast a fun playstyle of horse archery and pure speed. The decision is really up to you. You'll have fun with any faction you pick.

6 Right To Rule

This metric determines how the world sees your viability as a new kingdom. Before establishing your own kingdom, which you can do almost whenever you want, you should aim to have around 30 Right To Rule. More is always better, but 30 seems like the baseline.

If you don't have a good enough Right To Rule, you'll find that many lords and factions will just declare war on you. It's not so fun having to battle against the sprawling Swadian empire right off the bat.

5 Make Friends With Lords

Although you might be tempted to just smash every army you see, it's a good idea to keep up good relationships with at least some of the lords and vassals that rule the world of Calradia. Eventually, you will need friends to help you rule your fledgling kingdom.

Picking and choosing lords isn't always available, but try and go for those with good leadership skills so they can muster larger armies for you. Some easy ways you increase friendship include letting captured lords go or helping them escape from prison.

4 Raiding And Pillaging

Signing up as a mercenary allows you to keep changing allegiances. It's no use being a mercenary if your liege isn't at war. Mix and match your loyalties to always be on the lookout for a fight.

There are two big ways to make money as a mercenary: raiding villages for gold and resources, and destroying merchant caravans. The payouts from large caravans, especially, are massive. You can make plenty of money and get yourself set up to found a kingdom.

3 Establish Some Passive Income

Use the gold you've accrued from smashing villages apart to invest in some industry. You can find all sorts of workshops across Calradia, inside the larger cities. These can be anything from a brewery to a tannery.

Each workshop makes money based on its nearby resources. You can pick and choose where to build your industry, but always keep an eye on how much money it's making. Some cities have worse industries than others. If you check the local market and see a lot of a resource, like grain or beer, you don't want to build a brewery. It's simple once you get your head around it.

2 Focus On Your Character's Strengths

It's a good idea to always focus on a few crucial things during the early game. Good at one-handed combat already thanks to your character creation? Focus on one-handed weapons. You earn weapon mastery by just using the weapon.

If there's one serious tip for native Warband it's: USE THE LANCE. Couched Lance damage is massive. This is where your character lowers the lance and uses the momentum of the horse to deal easily 100+ damage. You can knock even extremely high-tier troops and lords right off their feet.

1 Make Use Of Your Companions

The companions in Warband are very set in their ways. Some companions really, really hate each other. There are guides out there that tell you who gets on with who, but you just want to make sure that you have a balanced party.

Key areas to focus on include medicine for healing your party, engineering for sieges, and scouting to speed up map-travel time and tracking for keeping an eye on large nearby parties.
