So now I’m trying to train up some Recruits and a handful of Footmen (Vaegir) but am having trouble finding bands of looters/robbers/bandits to fight. But I assume that later on, when I’m leading 30 or 40 guys, it’s going to be a good idea to have squads of each type and assign them roles for more effective battlefield performance?įinally, most of my previous warband got wiped in a close encounter with mouted deserters (I was the only non-wounded survivor and had to take out the final three enemies myself, I had like 8 hit points left at the end). Seems like that’s not really enough guys to split into infantry, archers and cavalry.
At what point should I start thinking about combined arms? Right now my warbands are small, 10-15 guys tops. When I promoted some of my footmen to Veterans I noticed that I had a choice between making them into better melee troops or creating archer troops. Is this because of the extra horse, or do Vaegir troops become horsemen on their own when they reach Veteran status? If he was simply using my extra horse, that’s awesome, but it also means I’m going to need to use a few inventory slots for mounts for my warband, correct? During the next battle, one of my Vaegir veterans was mounted. I had an extra horse in my inventory after buying myself a new one. Couple of questions based on my gameplay so far: Still plugging away in my noobness and having fun.
