Vaegirs units are better, cause they have bows and can use it from horses. Ranger units are more usefull in battle than stupid knights, wich are rushing to stuck by one in the middle of bunch of simple bandits, and get killed(Armagan, fix those AI, please). Logically, that vaegirs bowmen are better on horses(additionally, encreasing party movement speed) than swadian crossbowmen on feet. But...
...about sides. I can't see the differences between Vaegirs and Sawadians. I don't know what they fight for. Clear way - war is politics - money, power, national claim... But at least counts would have more personality. I want fight for a person. I want see his character. Or I want to see clear national claims. I'm ready to be a pawn in politics games.
