Swadian Army Build

Users who are viewing this thread

So i'm not a huge swadian fan (as you can tell from my username) nut i decided to try them out and i would like to know a good army build, and any tactics for that build.

My current build is
2/9 cavalry
3/9 X-Bowman
4/9 Infantry


Its a very versatile army so my strategy depends on the terrain, but what ive been doing is rushing the other army with my cavalry while I get my ranged units into a good location (using the battle mat of course) then i throw in my infantry. In the event they began slaughtering my cavalry, which is often with the rhodoks, i withdraw my cavalry and send in my infantry right away to buy more time for my ranged units, without suffering extreme losses to my knights.
 
100% Swadian knight charge, rips everyrhing apart, and you could lead a small cal force to route to the back of enemy and order charge once those cals are spread out in a line, sandwhich them.

So a swadian version of my 100% huscarl army  :twisted:

Oh bring it on.
 
I tried Swadia once. Im a good fan of it now, I still miss Lord Prescan though. (Beta Black Swadian Lord from the Alpha.)
 
In vanilla, I try to use Swadian Sergeant-only armies, but they're a pain to keep alive (and to uprgade to). But they look awesome, have great weaponry (morningstars! Yeah!) and are the perfect support for my Shieldless 2hander-toting Companion vanguard!

A lot harder than Knight-only, but that's my style.

It took me a LONG time to make, but whenever i upgraded a unit to huscarl i stationed it at one of my castles, and before i retracted my oath from Ragnar I took a bit over 200 huscarls out. (I have max leadership and 3k renown so my army is HUGE :grin: )
 
Just get like 75% Knights and 25% Elite Marksmen or whatever they are called, have the knights charge at the start and camp your x-bowmen on a hill or whatever to snipe anyone who tries to flee.
