The player faction is the strongest regardless of which one you choose to go with or even if you go independent. All AI factions are weaker regardless of units, size of the faction, or any other factor. The differences between the faction units is a minor concern by comparison. Even a new player that is just learning the game can be successful Crossbowmen vs Nord's best infantry. The Rhodok have 2 less power strike and strength and slightly worse one handed but having better armour and an armour piercing crossbow with 319 proficiency. Rhodok's I7 Condotierro is without a doubt best infantry in the game, and they also have op crossbow unit. Balance. Best non/noble cavalry: probably the drachen or drahara troops. I like to have heavily infantry armies so I’m basing this on the hardest troops for me to fight. Drachen cav is really tough, and Drahara cav is really fast and high damaging. Best non/noble archers: maccavia and elintor. The elves have hands down the best bowmen in the game. I did F3 and F5 but its not giving me the option to divide the units the way i want.

You can sort you troops into different groups based on their type that way, as well as assign Adding to the already two correct comments: you can recruit elite troops from the respective bandit unit with a leadership perk. For example a forest bandit Upgrades to the Battanian Fian Champions, steppe bandits upgrade to the Khuzait Khans Guard and Sea Raiders upgrade to the Druzhinik Champions. GetAssista. • 1 yr. ago. I usually roll with more archers than infantry, almost 2:1 but that's just my preference. Personaly i like using shielded sturgian infantry their shield wall is insane and rly allow to thank well arrow to avoid loss. ( the wall is also rly cool to see ) Generally, I think you’re almost better off just maxing the number of Fians in your party Playerfaction not counted -_-. War list (From best to worst) Swadia, with access to every faction in the game they are a common target, however they have the most balanced units in the game, focusing on their cavalry the player can access the powerful Swadian knight, the knights ride on "chargers" and "war horses" meaning they they sacrifice Sturgia is the weakest faction overall, but that's due to their geography. An some other things like infantry being underwhelming in this game and their infantry not even being the best in the game despite their infantry focus. Druzhinik Champion is their only unit that's worth it late game imo. Spearmen don't work very well in general and the YAQjq.
