Tier 5 infantry, which is best?

[stevenbobley]

whenever I hear mention of infantry in discussion people always seem to state that nord huscarls are the best, although there is always someone saying that it is unfair to say the nords are best for infantry because huscarls are tier 6 and harder to get. this leaves me wondering whether nord veterans would still be considered the best out of the tier 5 infantry. does anyone have an opinion on the matter? I am also left wondering about the even lower levels of infantry such as nord warriors and trained footmen and whether they would be considered the best of their tiers.

I found definitely regard the Nords veteran above the Swadian and Veagir infantry.

I personally think it would be like:

1. Nord Veteran
2. Veagir Infantry
3. Swadian infantry/Sarranid infantry
4. Rhodok veteran spearman


Khergits don't actually have good infantry, their "best" infantry would be the tribesman.

All the infantry you named other than the nord veteran are tier 4. for all troops other than the huscarl they only upgrade to tier 5 so the other faction troops are vaegir guard, sarranid guard, rhodok sergeant and swadian sergeant

I do not think it will be fair to rate the top tier infantry of factions to the single highest tier of another faction. The veteran will obviously not win.

I disagree, the nord veteran is on the same hardness to obtain and cost of the other infantry i named and looking at stats i would say they are quite even with the other tier 5 infantry such as vaegir guards, sarranid guards, swadian sergeants, and rhodok sergeants. if anything i would say they are better due to always having shields and carrying throwing weapons. What is unfair is to compare tier 5 infantry to tier 4 infantry. As well as thid even if it is unfair the question i asked was the best tier 5 infantry so i was looking for an answer to that.
