Today, I realized my prejudices against the Vaegir were justified

After playing Warband all these years, I could never bring myself to like the Vaegirs. I always thought the idea of slicing through armies with Great Bardiches would make for a fun play through, but every time I'd just end up farming Vaegir armies for money once I outgrew bandits. So today I booted up Floris mod and decided to side with Yaroglek.

I racked in some denars, leveled up, got an army and became a merc for the Vaegirs. After an uneventful war with the Nords, we declared against the Khergits. Me and a few other vassals headed down to Ichamur from the mountains in the north to do some scouting before the marshal comes. No big deal, we could handle ourselves against a few Khergs, right?

Then out of no where, a fucking steppe bandit hero comes from the east with at least ten other 30-40 man steppe bandit units and flanks us hard. Two of the vassals flee back north, and I'm stuck in a pitched battle with the weakest lord left. We end up in a 70 v 450 fight that decimates us and breaks up the rest of the Vaegir army from their assault on Ichamur.

The Vaegirs literally couldn't even handle a bunch of steppe bandits.

I'm going back to Rhodoks
