I have been testing quite a bit Naute vs Legionaries as I want to make a Infantry playthrough with Empire only units and I noticed Legionaries are just ass now. Naute even with worse armor just outperform and that even in battles where they are outnumbered and/or fight mixed armies against t5/t4 with archers and cav. Really was surprised by how good the Naute are compared to Legionaries or other infantry from other factions. submitted by /u/KolkanCova [link] [comments]
It's pretty easy to just curbstomp everything in vanilla (outside of sieges) by just ordering your army of Swadian Knights to launch a frontal charge. Using combined arms tactics and formations has been fun and often helped me win when my armies have been infantry-heavy, but cavalry still absolutely dominates the battlefield. Even in some mods (PoP) it's just simpler to charge in with the heavy cav and let the infantry pick up the pieces later.
Are there any mods which make the game more spear/pike focused? I don't know whether the game engine can do it properly; pikemen were only really good in tight formations of large bodies of soldiers IRL and Mount and Blade seems more focused on single warriors going for hand-to-hand combat.
