Great early on, but against lords with elite armies, I prefer faction troops who die significantly less frequently. But in general, the top Tier faction troops are better, if you can get them. Note that Irish and Pictish cavalry can do anything javelin cavalry cam do, and survive melee much better. Thus, they often get killed off in droves, so if you want to use them, you probably want the cheapest, i.
They would be great for charging the enemy in the back, but by the time you've maneuvered the enemy into a trap, your berserkers have gone mad with rage, attacked each other, and are either dead or exhausted. Your warrior companions can act as javelin cavalry, and you can give your specialists crossbows and classify them as archers. But honestly, the most effective way to fight is to have your spearmen in one shield wall anvil and your sword and shield infantry in another hammer and sandwich the enemy in between. As for specific troop types, here is something I wrote years ago, but i think it still stands: The best troops are, in my opinion: - spears infantry, perfect for holding the enemy at bay in a shield wall: Saxon noble - sword and shield infantry, perfect for hitting the enemy in the rear or flank: Norse bodyguard - crossbowmen, good for sieges where the defenders are exposed - Pictish elite skirmisher - bowmen, good for shooting a shield wall from the right flank - Norse warrior archers - heavish cavalry, good for charging skirmishers and running down routers - Irish bodyguard. Saxon nobles for holding shield walls and Norse huscarls for flanking them. Home Discussions Workshop Market Broadcasts.
