In Mount & Blade II Bannerlord, you can raise an army of your own to fight your enemies. Each side will consist of all types of infantry and cavalry. On this page, we will introduce all the units in Bannerlord and how can they be upgraded. Troops can be recruited from every non-hostile settlements. However, each time you create a new game, what you can recruit from each village is randomized.
When you have a larger army, you can force the bandits to yield and join your party. With the Disciplinarian perk, they can be trained into regular high tier units.
In order to upgrade your troops, they need to gain exp in combat. Certain perks, like Raise The Meek will also help.
You need money to upgrade a unit. If you upgrade a footsoldier to a cavalryman, a horse is also needed. Higher tier cavalry will need better horses.
