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...
Lower tier empire troops used to have Byzantine style helmets that looked great. Now they all just get padded coifs? Why? It looks awful. Their troops used to look cool, now they look like peasants roleplaying as assassins creed. Is it because the Nords don’t have much head protection so for “balance” instead of giving all low tier troops helmets they just got rid of them? Historically the FIRST piece of armor someone would get is a helmet… since the Bronze Age, even if all you have is a shirt, shield, and spear, the first piece of armor you’d get is a helmet.
Is there any way to add helmets back or something? They look ridiculous
