Hi all.
I have recently done a lot of testing (albeit on 1.5.1 - although the difference shouldn't be too drastic), on how the tier one troops compare to each other.
Before anyone says they are recruits why does it matter, they upgrade soon... It's the start of a Youtube series I am doing, and I also want to offer as much understanding to the different units within the tiers as possible.
I operated a round robin of the factions throughout 30 rounds.
Then put the factions up against the common bandits of Calradia as well (obv no one beat the bushwackers)
and finally I finished by averaging the amount of kills across 5 battles 100 recruits got against Elite Imperial Cataphracts and then 50 Sturgian Shock Troopers.
I was expecting some kind of balance, however it seems that only a few of the factions, notably Khuzait, Sturgia and Empire are of the same "strength".
Vlandia and Battanians shone throughout these tests I performed, with Battanians edging due to their 2H sledgehammer being more effective against higher tier troops in the relevant tests.
Now I would be happy with the above. But the Aserai, are awful. They are arguably the best equipped with a shield, 1H and a polearm. But the truth is they lose out to pretty much everything, other than Steppe bandits but I think these are massively under powered and not equipped properly - Mounted troops are meant to have a higher advantage and all - but that's for another post.
Has anyone else noticed this? or want to share thoughts?
