RBM introduces cutting arrows in addition to the piercing ones. Most troop trees go from cutting arrows at the low tiers and upgrade to bodkin (pierce) arrows later on. Pierce damage has always been superior to cut and that's why cut damage usually has a higher base damage score. Fians (including champs) have the opposite progression. They have P damage from tier 2 to 4 but at tier 5 they trade them in for barbed arrows. While the base damage goes up from 110 to 135, cut damage is so much worse against armored troops it serves as a huge nerf. I tested in custom battles and their performance is disappointing. Dismounted Druzhinnik Champions solidly beat Fian Champions. Dismounted Khan's Guards absolutely annihilated the fian champions. Imperial t5 archers beat regular fians in a close fight. Asurai Master archers absolutely stomped the regular fians. The tide however turns if you use t4 archers. Battanian Heros won vs Asarai Experienced archers and imperial veteran archers. ...
Hey there,
Been enjoying AWOIAF as of late, around ~500 days in and have just pledged to Aegon. I've been trying to use spies to avoid the bloodbath sieges, however they seem very ineffective. Most of the ones I have sent have been caught and killed before they were of any use, and the one that actually got through was killed when I tried to cause dissent.
So I suppose my question is, is there any way to make them more effective or is it designed to be high risk, high reward?
Thanks.
*edit: forgive the idiotic spelling in the title, can't change it now.
