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]
So I was doing fairly well this playbthrough. I have started my clan and rescued my brother and even have a few of companions. I’m decently geared for early game and had a small warband of 49. These were mostly just infantry with a handful of archers but my companions are mounted. I had 10000ish denars in the bank and was looking forward to buying some passive income from one of the cities…
That’s until I accepted a caravan escort mission… The caravan was attacked three!!! Yes three!!! Separate times by different bandits with a party of 50ish troops but they were all 75%ish mounted archers and 25% cavalry.
Don’t get me wrong I still won all three encounters but holy shit did they take a toll. But the end of the last battle my main character had fallen in battle and I had 13 troops who were still able to fight with 20 wounded and the rest dead. Maybe my tactics were shot but all I could think to do was order my infantry into a circle formation and use my handful of cavalry to ride them down. The whole time my infantry were basically used as target practice and I kept thinking “there must be a better way”. Should I just recruit more cavalry? More archers? How do I even recruit cavalry? Any help appreciated. Thanks a lot
