The problem being that having to be available to ride to the rescue makes it a bit tricky to do anything.
My only problem is keeping up a steady supply of troops I've got enough for myself, but my garrisons are tiny, just enough to hold off an army for a little while until I ride to the rescue. Fortunately, the Sarranids have been beaten bloody by every other faction so they're hardly a threat and I've been able to drive of the Rhodoks pretty well so far. They're both at war with me, along with the Nords for some reason, and there's a Sarranid castle bang in the middle of my territory, with too many troops for me to take (200+, I grabbed the city and castle after they'd already been taken a few time by other armies and had less than 50 each). I've got my own faction now, the Calradian Dominion, with a city, a castle and a couple of villages stuck between the Sarranids and the Rhodoks. Sarranids and vaegirs will fall before your sergeants like butter, and Khergit are a bit of a challenge with their horse achers but a few light cavalry can be used to chase them down.I picked up Warband a few days ago after having had the original for a few months, and things are starting to get heavy. They may not have huscarls, but they more than make up for it with their better archers. You can distract the enemy while your sharpshooters pick them off using some fast light cavalry.Īlso, Rhodok can rival a nordic army as well. I would reccomend grabbing some cavalry, maybe sarranid or khergit, to act as a skirmish force. They are amazing when you can command and competently manage them, but in AI armies they aren't going to overpower you automatically every time, as they will just blindly charge every time. I think on this sub knights are overhyped. If you even get a few cavalry following you and not your army you can weaken the charge. If the land is completely bare, you can risk yourself and ride out to try and divert the enemy charge away from your troops. If you are in flat land, you can try the same strategy using trees to slow their charge. The enemy knights will be slowed down by the hill, and any remaining charge will be hit by a wall of spears and be stopped in its' tracks. Then, select all troops and tell them to get closer together about 10-20 times until your troops aew packed in a tight cluster. If you have archers, post them behind them. Position your spearmen on top of the closest tall hill, standing slightly on the slope rather than on the peak. You need to be in Rhodok homeland though, as it is hilly and great for anti cavalry. If you are competent an army of rhodoks can decimate swadian cavalry.
