So as the title said, I'm playing Bannerlord as a Battain clan. I have progressed to a tier 3 clan, and have entered the service first of the Battain king(but he was always fighting half the world and I kept dying) and now to the Vlandian king as a merc.

My question is how to best proceed towards having my own villages or cities? I have 105 troops so I can't exactly take a whole city or castle by my self. I'm not sure what I'm meant to do. I just keep fighting in the wars that pop up then hunt looters and win tournaments, but I am not sure if thats a good strategy.

Here's my guitar, Martin D-16. What's everyone's favorite tunes to jam? Anything you're trying to work on these days?

I'm trying to fill out some content here but posting videos hasn't picked up much involvement or traffic. Let's get this group going with a bit of discussion.

Edit because I asked questions I didn't myself answer:

The first tune I think to play when I'm practicing is usually "Red Haired Boy" or "Salt Creek". I like to mix and match A and B parts from tunes in the same key. These are my favorite "G" warm up exercise.

I'm trying to learn how to play with more focus on melody and avoid just stringing together other people's licks.

Reaching back to my bluegrass awakening with this one. I grew up with the Grateful Dead and punk rock, Yonder was the first bluegrass adjacent group I had the pleasure to see. I still have a hard time with some of these old performances, but every once and a while I just get to missing this time in my life. RIP to the great Jeff Austin, I wish I could still see you make music.

Some great pro shot video from the Cap run a few years back. These shows were a wild time.

Music @ 1:30 or so, but I love a good rambling intro from Mr. Carlisle.

This fella is hands down one of the best performers I've ever seen. Electric energy the whole way through.

Some of the finest playing, especially Sam's mandolin break. If Tony growls a quick "YEAH" after your break, you're doing something right

I stumbled across this community, and I figured I'd put in a post to help get it going. Here is Nick Shoulders with his "Empty Yodel No. 0"

Starting off today with a wonderful version of "Way Downtown" played by Bryan Sutton & Michael Daves.

A place to share and discuss bluegrass music.

A nice cover from Billy and friends

Since this is Guitars, here is my Martin D-16. This guitar is my favorite I've ever played, it has great tone for a such a young guitar.

If any of you folks are interested in bluegrass guitar, or bluegrass in general, please come check out lemmy.world/c/bluegrass.

It's a brand new community I'm trying to get going, so come check it out if you'd like!

Some fantastic playing from Del & The band. Ronnie McCoury is one of the best in the business.

What's everyone's favorite bluegrass tunes? This one has been the first thing I think to play as of late.

I was looking around for a bluegrass group on here and couldn't find one, I hope that someone else finds this and joins me.
