Specialist are better in seperate group anyway - stand on hill somewhere safe, like soldiers' camp in real life battle :)
Not alltogether bad idea - now I mostly play VC, and you can train your low tier soldies this way, and save your elites. I always in rage when some s*ty peasant with rocks kill my huskarl.
Typical battle is me holding fire, then move behind infantry making them rotate to you then archers fire, then infantry advance. When archers out of arrors I order them retreat. So i can do with low tier infantry and when enemies reinforcement arrives I won't be with my bloodied elites. I give it a try.
Sieging is different too, it feels like such a waste to use swadian knights in sieges.. pretty much any infantry with a shield can siege and add in those crossbow marksmen for pick offs and decent walls when they're out of bolts. Best infantry to use is nord huscarls however they take a bit of time to train vs other infantry that can still get the job done. If against rhodoks.. i havent tried this theory yet but i imagine using veigar infantry mostly behind a good amount of shielded units untill the enemy uses all their bolts would be theoretically good cause they usually come equiped with shield bonus weapons to break through those pesky board shields. My troop makeup is also dependant on who i join/am war with, clearly you can't roll into nord cities with huscarls cause they get huge morale penalties for fighting against their own kind.. so then a valid sub would be i'd say sargents and elite infantry units. (you can use archers btw in sieges, early on they get a lot of picks however i hate using them cause they just become cannon fodder when they run out of arrows and suck in melee, nord archers are ok though compared to viegar in melee)
So what i end up doing is setting up multuple armies in my castles, one for field battles and the other for sieging. (i don't run around with massive amounts of troops cause it causes morale penalties and they are fat and eat all your food way too quickly. only when i know i'm sieging and may have to field battle do i carry both, and usually its a balance to keep my army smaller) If you run around with huscarls and some crossbowers though you can probably win most field battles its just not as fast as using swadian knights. (only time i ever use khjert? units is for bandits lol, the mounted archers usually run down routers with help from like veigar knights or something faster and cheaper than swadian). Overall it all comes down to preference, desert dudes are all decent at everything but masters of none, and pretty sure.. their elite infantry lacks shields. Veigars are traditional archer baised, rhodoks are crossbow and spear/anti calvalry based, swadian is heavy calvalry, nords are infantry, and khjerts are pretty worthless.. just annoying. (although their lancers are pretty strong and if you underestimate them they'll kill some units)
Cavalry: Usually people praise the swadian knight because it's "the absolute best unit in the game and all you need is an army of swadian knights omg so op blah blah". well they're not entirely wrong, Swadian knights are the best cavalry, however statwise The sarranid mamluk is almost equal to the swadian knight, but i found that they work best if you plan on making your money on capturing enemy units and selling them into slavery, since a lot of them tend to use blund weapons as a secondary.
Infantry: Nord Huscarl best melee unit, highest level and stats ez.
Depending on the situation hower I would also reccomend Rhodok sergeants for both sieging and defending castles. Some people might argue that swadian sergeants are better at sieging castles, and i guess that would be debatable. Rhodok sergeants do move slow, they are a very slow unit, however, nothing is going to break their shields easily making them tanks, essensially.
Archers: Not sure, I don't really like archers in this game, because they do ♥♥♥♥ damage, especially against shield users they wont even make a dent in them.
If i had to reccomend one archer unit though, I'd say sarranid master archer, not based on any stats or facts, but just because i like the way they pew pew. and are the most satisfying to slaughter too.
Crossbow: Rhodok sharpshooter, period.
Outclasses Swadian crossbowmen everyday, all day. frankly, all archer units too.
Garrison: I usually have a garrison mixture of rhodok sharpshooters/ vet crossbowmen and Nord warrior/ nord recruits. Nord recruits usually spawn with the best gear if you ask me.
Who no ♥♥♥♥ they will attack your castle when they outnumber your garrison. The point of the recruits is to lower the chances of being outnumbered therefore making it less likely to be invaded by individual lords.
How about you read the entire conversation. He said that it makes lords less likely to siege you and you said that's not true because it will still be sieges by marshalls. He was talking about invidual lords not marshalls. Learn how to read.
You can lower your chances of being sieged this is why anyone with a brain does it but it seems you are not intelligent enough to understand that it lowers your chances of being sieged by smaller lords. When a lord passes your castle and he can siege it, he will you common pepe.
That's what i said you vindaloo.
Where did i forget to capitalize? I don't capitalize anything when i'm actually just laughing.
Hmm, I don't know i'm not the one trying to correct other people's mistakes on the internet haha. You're the one trying to do that. expertinio
Also don't get offended on the internet because you just look like a complete douche. You had a misunderstanding on the internet and the first thing you do is insult and get genuinely mad. You need to work on your anger management.
