I did custom battles of 100 v 100 with Sturgians against all other factions in all the different category
For example 100 Sturgian inf vs 100 Battanian inf
And yes you guessed it.. Sturgia almost always lose with 20-30 kills 80 deaths 20 routed or wounded in all category's against all nations..
You would think because of the stories that the Sturgians have the strongest infantry but after fighting all nations 100 v 100 i have proof that Sturgians are far off the weakest nation in the game in all categories (inf, ranged, cav)... You would think that Khuzait have the weakest infantry., but no they killed the Sturgians with 12 deaths and 81 kills. Insane... didn't expect this
The Sturgians only won with ranged against vlandian ranged
And with Horses against Vlandian horses and Aserai, because in the 100 v 100 the Aserai horses didn''t spawn the mameluks all routed and it was 100 v 1 which the Sturgians somehow managed to win.
Battanians seem to have the strongest infantry especially the ranged units seem like the strongest units in the whole game
