vaegirs vs swadia?

[wooaa]

witch faction do you like more, i am on the fence, the swadis have better cav, but the vaeigers have better archers, what do you think? just so you know, this is not a veagir vs swadian knight post, that horse has been betten do death by boath sides.

[Greatsword]

Vaegirs. Next question.

[Captured Joe]

Swadians. Vaegirs lack their Morningstars and cool Coats-of-Plates. Besides, the Vaegirs look like a weird messy mix of Vikings, Turks and Russians (IMO).

[Greatsword]

IIRC Vaegirs are based on medieval Russia.

[Captured Joe]

True, but they got Turkish and Viking influence as well, for example those Nordic Helmets. And I don't like that, they should have more uniqueness in my opinion (like they have in tEatRC).

[Greatsword]

I suppose, but I do love their war-mask helmets. They look amazing.

[Captured Joe]

War-mask helmets? Ah yes, they look many times better in WB indeed. Or do you mean those awesome-looking ones of tEatRC?

[Haloman]

Vaegirs.

[Easternsword]

I think veagirs' white Linen clothes looks very gentle,that is my favorite(actually I usually strip to the waist)
 

[Greatsword]

Yeah the ones in Warband look a lot nicer.

Or do you mean those awesome-looking ones of tEatRC?

Enlighten me!

[Captured Joe]

With pleasure.

And sadly I can't find the original picture, but the badassery of the Vaegir Guardsmen of tEatRC is clear on this guy's signature.

EDIT:
Almost forgot this one;

Found this one in one of my maps:

Vaegirs VS. Haelmarian


Seen here is a Nord musketeer smashing a Vaegir Guard's faceplate with his hand axe.

Swadians because their knights rape everything but Khergits.

If you get severely outnumbered you can kiss your Vaegir Marksmen goodbye, but with Swadian Knights you still stand a chance - therefore I vote Swadians. But I'm a STR+AGI character with warlord status (no friendly lords, only angry ones) so I always work with severely outnumbered scenarios.
