I find that Heretics are good for the siege due to thier armor, shield, and good weapon.

For cavalry you might try Shahir Lancers. A charge with their heavy polearms can be vicious vs any type of troop. Crusaders are close to that level as far as punch, + they have more sustained endurance in skirmish. Thing is though that the lancers can be massed as they are more easily achievable on account of their lower spot in the tree.

Heretics have to be the best in regards to being bogged down in melee. They will be the cavalry of choice vs heavy infantry in rough terrain. Sultan's Bodyguard are a close second in this category.

what about infantry, should i go with tyrion sentinals due to their shields--for taking on siege walls?

are halvare knights good mounted troops?

what is so good about the southern dynasty troops? i guess their infantry lacks shields as well just like the ironide papacy? that is a real vulnerability i fund, big drawback

They have a good mix of offense. Pikes, good archers, good late 2 handed swordsmen. Should the new version be uploaded, then possibly the best HA too.

their pikes are just amazing in a 300+ battlesizer
