TL;DR Tier List. These are my personal notes and I acknowledge it is just my opinion, just posted to hopefully help others S: Imperial Naute A: Battanian Skipari, Vlandian Nauta, Nord Huscarl, B: Sturgian Reaver, Nord Berserkr, Aserai Bahriyyah, C: Corsair Chief, Nord Skjaldbrestir, Nord Chosen of the Sky-God, Sea Raider Chief D: Various Convoy Guards, Nord Ulfhedinn, F: Nord Youngling Testing is done in actual campaign as well as using custom battles and the Retinue mod to look directly at stats/equipment. General Observations: Shields are required, otherwise you get shredded by ranged attacks. Skills and ship upgrades can boost shield health massively, with some like the Nord Decorated Shield crossing 2,000 hp! I've seen Huscarls with 20+ Javelins in their unbroken shield at the end of a battle. You can assume the high tier shields will not break in battle, meaning a single high damage hit creeping through is the best means of ranged attack rather than quantity. For ra...
I'm considering doing a foot solider build instead of using a horse. However since movement is key it makes me wonder something. Even tho I'm not gonna use a horse would it be worth it still to use a horse in the early game for the perk that reduces herding penalty by 1/2 then ditch the horse since it's a party leader skill. To me it makes sense however I never played past the mid game. I'd imagine eventually you get enough troops/party size it doesn't matter anymore.
One of the main reasons im considering doing this is because even when I'm at war id imagine id still want to at least trade horses im in the area to buy them cheap so id probally still get the herding penalty i would guess.
