I have a nice wife, a nice fief too, a castle on a hill with a magnificent view. I have fertile lands, and villages that thrive, hundreds of troops who somehow stay alive. My coffers are heavy, my warband is fed, my enemies see my banner and occasionally drop dead. I have horses and armor, silver and grain, a hall full of nobles complaining again. By every measure, I’ve won at this game. I’ve conquered, grown wealthy, and built up my name. Yet I stand on my battlements when the campaigning is done, watching the mountains fade with the sun. My wife is beside me. My kingdom is strong. My vaults overflow. But something feels wrong. I’ve everything a lord could possibly acquire… Maybe what’s missing another fief to desire. submitted by /u/t-o-m-u-s-a [link] [comments]
I've seen this discussion a lot lately, there are people claiming that Swadian/Vaegir Knights and Sarranid Mamelukes are better in dismounted melee combat than their respective faction infantry. Is it true?
They are definitely very different, for example Swadian Sergeants fight with 1h and shield, while dismounted Knights use 2-handed weapons 99% of the time. So one could argue that, in sieges, you could use Sergeants as shield/tank infantry vs. archers and use Knights as shock troops against enemy infantry, etc.
