I need some help coming up with a useful CKHO. I’m thinking of a way to set up my Knights and sergeants that provides value the established knighthood orders don’t already provide.
What combination of units will best compliment each other? For example, Silver mist rangers and halberdiers already compliment each other fairly well. The rangers destroy most enemies while the halberdiers protect them from direct heavy cavalry charges (probably the rangers’ biggest weakness).
Also, what AI will the custom units use? If I train them with high horse archery skill and high archery proficiency, will they act as horse archers? If I give them only bows and 3 quivers, will they do a better job of skirmishing and avoiding close combat when I give them the charge command, or will they start punching? I was thinking about training the knights to be dedicated horse archers with very tough mounts so they won’t get unhorsed, while training the sergeants to be fast lancers so they can intercept opposing cavalry. Has anyone tried this setup?
I have been using a lot of clarion call troops and always find myself wishing the sergeants were lancers so they could charge in while I maneuvered the rangers into a flanking position.
Edit: Alternatively, I could give the knights bows, 2 quivers, and a two handed pole arm that can’t be used on horseback. That would also force them to properly act as horse archers while mounted, hopefully.
