Hmm

You know after playing for a while as Swadian general. I realize that the Swadian foot soldier can't even survive arrows.
So I wonder IF the next version is release is there a chance there will have sword and shield infantry?

 

[Somebody]

If you want Sword/Spear and Shield, go LT. Or hire your own custom troops and give them Swadian stuff.

 

[Shrugging Khan]

Or you could get smart.

You know, get some cheap cavalry to annoy their archers while your infantry moves up to bash their heads in.

I thought it would be cool if before there's the doppelsoldner, there's swordsman. Let see..
He will wear the feathered bascinet, footmen bascinet, breastplate armor and a pair of leather boots.
His armament will be a longsword and a heater shield like the one sharpshooter has.
It will take him a long bloody journey before he will become doppelsoldner. Hey maybe they would become man-at-arms(Foot)?
I will try that. Let see if it's work. 
Anyone who would like to volunteer please tell the result too! with screenshot would be fabulous!

 

[Shrugging Khan]

Nah. Sword-and-board troopers don't really fit the times

Shields are for pussies. I used to say.
Get your Doppels in melee and they'll butcher any shield-bearing guys.

Yes, while they get butchered by anything with a crossbow, bow or gun.

That's why I said "Get your Doppels in melee"...

And while they are in melee, they still get mauled by marksmen. That doesn´t happen so easily to Throne wackos with shields.

You're doing it wrong. Use your demilancers to keep the enemy shooters busy while your brawlers take apart anything else.

That´s if the terrain is even enough. Something you cannot rely on in TEatRC. Fight in a hilly terrain and your demilancers will get slaughtered too.

Face it. This is the time of pike and musket (or just musket).

Just tell them to become footsoldier as well. Oh and by the way what's up with the new commanding system?
Why dismounted cavalrymen doesn't merge with infantry?! It's very inconvenience.

Nonsense. In Hilly terrain, you can just use the hills themselves as cover against the enemy shooters.
