Best Knights Orders?

[Wu-long]

Which order do you think is the best and why?

 

[kaeldragor]

I love the Silvermist Rangers, because I love have a force of foot archers to decimate the enemy and hold the territory I keep.

I expect for actual conquest and mobility there may be better choices, but it is always my first Order.

I see what faction are they from? Can they best the windriders?

They're an upgrade from Pendor Grey Archers, and for reasons I'll get into later, I think they probably do beat Windriders.

EDIT: They are Pendor - Grey Archers. - Beat me to it, Maeglin. 


Windriders have the strong advantage of being mounted in regular battle, so once they start circling, they may be able to kill more Silvermist Rangers than the other way around.  However, in a siege I'd wager all my money on Silvermist.  Also, in a field battle, the D'Shar have to charge before they swing wide, unless you guide them, meaning the Silvermist can get several shots off before the circling begins.

Not only that, but you can improve the stats of Silvermist without worrying about facing them (except the occasional recruited and leveled up prisoner.)  With Windriders, there is at least one unique enemy hero that has a lot of them, not to mention D'Shar forces.

(On the other hand, if you are playing as D'Shar, improving the Windriders helps your whole faction, not an advantage to sniff at.)

Yes, at different castles.

One for each Castle or Town that you are the Lord of.  Of which you are the Lord.  Whatever.  One each, provided you have the Gems and cash.  Only villages cannot have them.


Edit:
*Eyes Maeglin Dubh*

That's uncanny.

 

[Wu-long]

Really I only have the option of dismantling a Knight order in my new castle and also you gain a gem for creating an knight order?

I've been a forum mod before. I am a master at the art of Forum Fu.

If your only option is dismantling, there's already one there. And making one sometimes -costs- a gem.

I see so if you crushed all opposition is there anther way to gain gems? (I accidentally freed every lord i capture)

There are several threads dedicated to that exact question, Wu-long.  You won't have to go past the second page to find what you need.
