So, here’s what i’ve learned
Lances are awesome at wrecking guys, but only infantry, not calvary. The Lance has some advantages and disadvantages:
pro:
1. Awesome damage
2. no real skills needed
3. you can de-horse guys with ease
cons:
1. terrain will affect your ability to effectively charge
2. large groups can stop you and leave you stuck in a horde and this can take you out faster than you might think
3. no long range
Vaegir has knights which are powerful and versatile
Nords have powerful ground troops that throw axes, it’s pretty handy
Swardians have good crossbow men, but i’ve been trying out their knights, we’ll see how that goes
Khergit have all calvary and it’s great…till you have to defend stuff but their archers and lancers are powerful
Rhodok have excellent spearmen but they are slow and subject to calvary destroying them
I’ve been maxing charisma in the hopes for making a ridiculously huge army, currently about 92 or so…but i’ve seen like 200 man armies, which are hella lame…
I’ve picked up to heroes Lezalit and Rolf, lezalit is all about engineering and wound healing and training. Rolf is gonna be a wrecking ball, hopeful if the *edited* ever uses the lance i gave him
Looting towns will never get old, i had a fief, but it got taken, *edited* those mega-armies, i couldn’t take 300+ doods and stayed away from them.
i dunno how to effective herd cattle, one day i’ll figure it out.
