If you're fighting Vaegirs, Swadian cavalry, or any cavalry for that matter is usually up to the challenge of decimating them. You could also try getting heavier more sturdy missile troops like Rhodok sharpshooters, best crossbow and bolts in the game with melee equipment and stats to match some Nord high-mid tiered troops.

Mount and blade is like a bigger game of rock, papper and scissors. You have to be carefull on what you evolve, frankly? i say go many archers, it can be any archer, and just make them hold position and then just watch the execution of your enemy, this way if you go on archers you won't have problems with Khergit too.
It's not very similar to rock, paper, scissors at all 
! And as far as I'm concerned, this doesn't resemble Pokemon either. Cavalry will decimate everything on a relatively flat field, there are no exceptions to this. Every unit has its uses, but with the exception of heavy cavalry, they'll succumb to the other types of soldiers in the right conditions.

You know that's not true. I've seen Rhodoks take down swadian armies many times their size.Swadius said:It's not very similar to rock, paper, scissors at all

Basically, Heavy Cavalry will take anything down, but infantry/archers with long weapons, or Heavy Infantry in a tight formation.
Archers, will decimate anything in light armour, but anything in heavy armour will make it to them, especially cavalry.
Crossbowmen, can penetrate armour well, but have a high reload time, so it's pretty limited before the enemy get to you.
Infantry, are good at taking out Light Cavalry, like the Khergits, IF they make contact with them.
Mounted Archers, now these buggers are the same as archers, but with the added mobility of the horse, so they tend to dominate in the field, unless the infantry has many shields.

War parties, what version do you play?
what kind of war parties do you wish to beat?
Seriously, I play on max difficulty and battlesizer 300.
I never have any problems when I have 60+swadian knights taking down armies of up to 120.
(my main is an intelligence pure, i.e. 10 training. Soo good to help the tough levelling process when you're a swadian)
so Swadian knights.

Vaegir war parties tend to be pretty easy to beat. They rarely have a lot of marksmen or knights, and guards aren't much to be worried about. If they charge on the start their cavalry isn't so numerous that they can do heavy damage, especially the horsemen. If they advance in a line you'll have to be worried, but just like the rhodoks their archers are quite vulnerable in this configuration, take out their lagging archers and then they don't have two dimensions to worry about. Lure their cavalry away with yours (they should fall pretty easily) and your archers can then clean up the infantry, which is largely unshielded.

As said many times in this thread : Swadian Knights.
In large group they tend to win every battle. Plus a cavalry only party is much faster. Just garrison your Huscarls while not attacking castles/cities and use S. Knights only, while crushing lords parties (that outnumber you) on the field.
Of course a high Trainer Skill is required aswell as Surgery might help to level up them from the n00b/recruit status.

That would depend on the situation. I'll favour a Vaegir Knight over a Swadian on the field with the except of Khergits.
If you rely on one tactic for all situations you will fail, each situation should be analyzed individually. There are cases where enemies parties will be nearly one dimensional, I've encountered numerous Rhodok parties with no crossbows at all, sometimes Swadians only have a handful of cavalry, you never know.

It depends on troop consistency. If not controlled by a human player, it's usually down to the quality and quantity of the troops. On a field where no one was commanding, the Swadian Knights will pretty much overrun the competition.
