Highwayman

Dive deep into the Highwayman troop type in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord. Understand their skill values and how they stack up against other units in Calradia.

Alright, let's talk about the Highwayman, a bandit troop type you'll definitely encounter (and maybe even want to recruit!) in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord. They're pretty tough cookies, especially when it comes to certain skills. Think of them as the seasoned veterans of the bandit world.

Here's a breakdown of their core stats:

As you can see, they absolutely shine with Polearm, Riding, and Throwing skills, all hitting a massive 120. Their One Handed, Two Handed, and Athletics are also a solid 100, making them well-rounded fighters. The only real weak spot is Crossbow, where they have a 0, so don't expect them to be archer support!

These stats mean Highwaymen are fantastic on horseback, capable of dealing serious damage with polearms or throwing weapons. They can hold their own in melee too. Keep an eye out for them when you're out and about in Calradia – they can be a real threat, but also a valuable addition to your own army if you manage to recruit them!
