The only way to overcome bandits in Manor Lords is by ambushing their camps. To do that, you have to build an army and send them to bandit camps.

Use the tips below to defeat the bandits in Manor Lords and preserve resources to build a large town:

• At first, you must craft at least 100-150 weapons by using iron bars. Send the iron bars to the Blacksmith to make gear for your army. You can also unlock the development point to use the Armorer for crafting sturdy armor.
• After that, open the Army tab at the bottom of the screen to assign troops. You must note that the number of weapons available in your village will be equivalent to the number of troops you can assign to the army. Hence, it is essential to focus on building weapons alongside other activities in Manor Lords.
• Then click on the flag above the army icon to rally the troops. This option helps to gather all the troops at a single gathering point. Right-click on the location where you want the army to go.
• Once done, find the bandit camps on the map and lead your army there. The bandits will rally and retaliate once you reach. They are often in small groups, making it easier for you to defeat them. Unlike Raiders, they are weak and cannot fight against an army. Hence, 50 troops will be enough to take care of a bandit camp.
• Monitor the map consistently to find the bandit camps. You must defeat them once they spawn on the map, or they will end up stealing resources.
