Sturgia way to OP

[Concerned_Necron]

I am playing Mount& Blade since the early days. I enjoy Bannerlord very much, but since the last update and the nerf/boost of Sturgia...I don't know guys. One linebreaker takes down 10 vlandian Footmen? WTF
@Devs, please make it stop. Sturgia was doing okayish before the update. Now they just shred every army in their way. Evene when I am putting a 3:1 ratio against them. They shred trough them -.-

Any thoughts on that?

Sturiga OP? They got erased in every new save lol And i play from day1... They nerfed Sturgia but not that much. Vlandia and Khuzait are OP. And yeah i changed my tactics now i use linebreakers they are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ TANKS

Enter Battanian Fian Champions

Isn't footmen like t2 and linebreaker t4/5? Seems about right tbh.

Sounds like some sad trooper got his ass kicked by Sturgians.

Go hire some Battanians.

Sturgia has no horseman and their archers are not great lol they need to be good at something

Dear Game Devs,

Rock is OP. Paper is fine.

Sincerely,

Scissors.

If all 10 are hitting one guy at the same time, that's rather impressive the linebreaker doesn't go down.

I am in my 2nd consecutive game as Strurgia and I enjoy the heck out of them. Will be conquering the entire map this time also.

I normally play very ranged heavy. When I play Sturgia I play infantry heavy with archers and cavalry just to round out the force, not to be the heavy hitters.

It also means a change in tactics. Normally, when I am ranged and cavalry heavy I shield wall and let the ranged units do their work. As the enemy infantry approaches I send the cav around the side and into their rear.

When I play as Sturgia the goal is to get your infantry into contact with the enemy as fast as possible. The ranged units are just to keep the enemy honest and the cav is to flank their ranged units and hit them from the rear.

A nice formation of Heavy Spearmen and Heavy Axemen (60/40%) with the appropriate perks/Capt will absolutely stop a cavalry charge in its tracks and soak up ranged fire.

Also, It does seem to me the Sturgian Shield Wall is better than other factions. Perhaps that is just a perception and not a reality.

I dunno. During my second play-through I had a ton of Sturgian elite cavalry. When it came to mosh-pit cavalry-on-cavalry close melee they were murder machines and out-slew my prized Khergit lancers.

Battanian Fian Champions are what I want for my walls. Like in previous M&B each faction usually has some very powerful unit type.

[Teralitha]

I told you all that sturgia was sleeper OP. No one believes me...

To be fair the lancers excel in charge attacks but once it gets to hand to hand they struggle
