sturgian troops

A thing that irritates me a little bit about Sturgian villages is that there are so few villages where you can recruit normal units. Way too many villages give only the noble line, and way too many also give a lot of useless horse raiders. Villages on the outskirts of Sturgia have very few...

So I've been brainstorming a few ideas with the purpose of buffing Sturgia's place in the current faction singleplayer meta, since most agree they're at the bottom, as well as giving them some more historical flavor and uniqueness from the other factions. I also include a few ideas that have...

Every campaign I play, Sturgia gets steamrolled. It's so bad that by the time you get the banner and are ready to pick a side you are lucky if they have more than 2 cities left. They suffer from a lackluster unit lineup and it really shows. In particular they get overrun by the Khuzaits...

I find it quite unfitting for the precessor culture of the Nord and Vaegir to neither have the popular Huscarl nor any of other Axe wielding Tanks. Since sturgias strongpoint is the shieldwall, there is no strategy what to do in order to actually defeat enemy forces which dont direct engage them...

So this is kinda minor, but i still think it helps in making the factions stand out from each other. Basically just dismount the sturgian nobles so that they travel the map on foot. Also get rid of their bow and give them throwing weapons instead. This would play into them being based around...

Sturgia - Make the noble tree heavy Housecarls/Huskarls infantry, replace the brigand/horse raider branch with a watered down Druzhinnik cav. Aserai - Mameluke cavalry no longer horse archers, just average heavy cav (maybe with a horse archer branch at the end). Noble line is a super high...

+More Armor +Higher Stats +New Weapons +Stronger Troops Better Sturgia IMPORTANT: If you are using any crafting like ex Weapon Part Workshop please download Sturgian Troops Redone NoCraftedItems 1.0 version or your game will crash. This mod changes Sturgians to look more like Viking...

I will be mainly talking about Sturgia and Aserai as in my opinion, they are currently the weakest factions. Keep in mind, these apply to the AI, im sure if you play as sturgia or aserai you will do fine but fighting against them is a different story. Sturgia in my opinion has a very...

Did about a 10 hour or so play through with the Sturgians, to me they feel weak, the troops that they have are kinda "Meh" compared to the other faction, Is it me or are they like that? ------------------ By @Mote That being said, let's get into it: 1. Faction Specialization From the...

Oke so because the game is so buggy and all core mechanics are broken I decided to play some custom games 100 v 100 I played a few games just making warriors crash into each other to compare different troops against other nations, I noticed however that Sturgian troops lost against every type...
