Is it me, or the Nicean Roman Empire is severely underpowered? Like, they are completely useless. I'm using the lance recruitment system and all I can see is spearmen/javelin men among their ranks, some of them mounted and all have sub-par armour. They can't do anything in sieges especially against the Latin Empire for they only have swords and spears which don't penetrate armour. I am yet to see a varangian guard or a cataphract of any description. I literally watched a 1200 men party disintegrate in a siege of Patras while their garrison was only 300 troops, of which only 40 died.
