Mount and blade warband best infantry drivers#

The slave drivers are good because you're mor likely to capture the enemy lord. And I now know which infantry I should mix together for an effective, varied army. I mainly use Swadians, like 40 knights, 30 infantry and 30 archers, and 1 or2 manhunters/slave drivers. Really great in depth comment there and after reading it I realised that my question was a little vague. It seems to me Ranged attacks have advantage though, with good archers you can melee mounted as needed. The Vaegirs have unfocused infantries that can't decide if they are light cavalry or skirmishers, the Khergit have not infantry, and the Swadians' and Saranids' are decent but nothing special. The infantry of the other kingdoms range from poor to decent. I personally find that nord vets have a much easier time winning a siege than almost every other faction, except maybe the Rhodoks, with their amazing shield walls and bolts. Also they are the same level as the Nord Veterans, and have less hit point than the Nord Veterans, with only a marginally better armor to boot. The enemy has better/more archers, same infantry. Vaegir guards have a higher tendancy of wielding two-handed weapons, and have no access to thrown weapons (unlike the Sarranid Guards and the Housecarls), making them easy targets to be picked off during siege. Having a superior archer line and the infantry composition makes a difference in how best to use cavalry. You completly left out the vaegir guards, which is defenitly not poor quality if i get about 20 to 30 of them mixed with skirms you can take most castles It basically comes down to what purpose of an Infantry you want them to full-fill. Hearts of Iron III Victoria 2 Mount & Blade: Warband. some have excellent infantry, others excellent archers or cavalry, or a combination of these units. They will never conquer a whole faction without the help of the player. Originally posted by Sigmar's Faithful:Hah, that depends on what 'best' stands for. There are five factions in Mount&Blade, while Warband added a sixth.

But a line of Rhodok spearmen is a deadly trap against any frontal cavalry charge. IMO they are slow, and are not meant for beserker-type assault the Nords are good at doing.

The Rhodoks have the best anti-cavalry unit and are pretty decent in close combat. But the Nords absolutely sucks at anti-cavalry role due to short reach (they never have pole-arms, and throwing axes rarely hit their target). Also low level nord infantrymen have pretty big shields that can save their hides. Nord Veteran and Housecarls can face any infantry one-on-one and almost always come out on top (one-handed+shield and thick armor, etc.) Their strength lies in their ability to charge head-long into mobs and win. The nords have the most straight-forward infantry. Then you have come to the right place for some basic information on tactics commonly used in infantry combat. You decide that one day you want to be able to do more than just stab and hope that the enemy doesn't block your attack.
