Are you sure?

Are you sure Vaegir knights are supposed to be mounted? I've tried upgrading them repeatedly, and the Vaegir knights are always on foot. Granted, they're a damned near unstoppable force in large numbers on foot, it's just not the same. And it's not just me, either. I was planning to exit anyway, so I attacked a Vaegir prison train for the hell of it, and their knights were on foot as well.

why would you want your units mounted anyway, they always get killed.
Their ai could use some tweaking

 

[GreenKnight]

Simple. They're knights. Knights should be mounted. Plus, the Vaegir really remind me of Rohan. I like being able to play around with that, whether it ultimately proves the most effective way to fight or not. But yes, they do need an unsettling amount of supervision. It'd be cool if they could sweep through an infantry formation, do their damage, and then swing around for further passes like the character does.

My Vaeghir knights are on horses, about the same type as those Dark Knights have.

I think mounted/unmounted is about timing and situation. It depends on your foe and your other allies. If ihave a few guys on foot I want upgraded fast I prefer unmounted. Gets everyone a chance to kill off some .

Personally i prefer riding up to a high hill, unmount and kill off soldiers with my xbow. Devastating .

Hmmm, could it have to do do with what you have in your inventory?

I just started a new character and made him go with the Swadians. I started out as a merchant and had at lvl 3 like 3 horses in my inventory. I then hired some peasants and upgraded them into footmen, and in my next battle, I had like 7 footmen on horses......

I have several horses in my inventory, but you'd think that would be a bonus to mounted knights, not a detriment. I dunno, could there be some glitch in my copy of the game? Could it have screwed something up when I went into the config files and activated the cheat mode? I dunno, but it's frustrating. My Vaegir Knights are very effective on foot, I can't deny it, and it's true that at the moment, my allies get killed on horses. They're dumb enough to stop their horse in front of a whole group of infantry and try to fight them solo. Still...mounted Vaegir Knights. I can have a lot of fun with a lot of horsemen, but they're just not as durable.

Armagan posted a fix for this when .622 came out. It's in the forums somewhere. Not sure if it'll work with .623 though.

Apparently porting a save from 6.22 to 6.23 messes something up with the vaegirs knights. There seems to be no problem wit a fresh 6.23 game.

 

[GreenKnight]

Oh, there's a fix? I'll try that. I thought version 6.23 WAS the fix.

My mounted hired blades seem to be practically unstoppable but my vaegir knights are too slow on foot. They still hit hard but they take forever to get to the fight.

Then take the fight to them.... Order everyone to follow you and pull the enemies towards your knights on foot. Works great for me....
