Vaegir/Swadian/Independent

[Maecon]

So who did you swear your allegence to? I joined the Vaegirs because they were the closest, but then I realized Swadian troops were less Nomad looking and seemed to carry better equipment so I changed sides

Indy. Bandits/Khergits/Sea Raiders/Deserters to kill, Dark Kerniggits if I feel like a challenge. Oh, and you can raid caravans from either side as and when the opportunity presents itself.

But if I had to choose it'd be Swadians, I'd rather fight Vaegir horsemen than Swadian crossbowmen any day of the week.

Can you switch sides w/o starting a new game?

PS Voted Indie because I really can't see why I should choose either faction. Why are they fighting? Who are they?
Vaegir and Swadians look the same.

You can - just go to a swadian city and speak to the count there.

There's some kind of penalty for doing so (I don't remember which as I usually stay independant).

 

[JoshRose]

You have to pay him something like 100 or 150 denars to make you neutral with his side.

 

[Roach]

I think the cost of the bribe depends on your relations with the faction, up to a maximum of -100 (that took a bit of effort). Probably costs a coupla grand to switch sides at that stage.

i choose vaegirs cos they have the coolest knights sadly the swadians seem to have better infantry and pretty decent cavalry. However vaegirs have the best trade routes in their territories (heheheh meat linen oil trade rote is so cool (at least i think it's that one ))

 

[malenn]

Vaegir you gett best loot from the Swadian.

 

[Dynamite_cow]

Me is a mercenary, and the Vaegirs pay well. Or at least they did in the previous versions.

Ok guys, heres the low down

Vaegirs = Best Archers and foot men (from what I keep battleing them for) but they got the most boring missions and you dont need many men to escort caravans (they pay well)

Swadians = Best Crossbowmen (footmen carry them so you don't have to wait for upgrades) and Caverly (they dont carry as many spears but more swords and axes. They got most exciting missions ( Noblemen capture, Prisoners, Raiders ect)

Inividual = OWNs (i think so anyway) Attack both sides and you will be able to (from what i'v heard about upcoming versions) that there will be a bandit faction (based at Dhorak Keep) and attack anyone you like. Also attack ANY city you like. (don't think i am tellin the truth because i might be wrong sorry)

Now then, if you want the BEST ARMY, hire people from Zendar and upgrade them up to the top (Hired Blade) The get Swadian Knights and Vaegir Marksmen. This is my personal army strategy, and i have only lost once (i'm level 39) Also, if you are EASLY killing enemies on whatever AI level or battle size then heres a one way to make it VERY exciting!!!

Make a new character (if you are not level 30+) and save as CHEATER or something to say its a save file with cheats on, (cheats only work if you bought full game) then use XP,money,upgarde(for you'r army when you have hired people) Make them the ranks i said above. Put the AI to a low level first and the battle size to the max (low AI because it sometimes slows PC down, also because if you charge at an enemy that has 30 or more archers/crossbowmen then you will be looking through a dark tunnel at a bright light ahead of you now fight some swadians/vaegir war party's. And see if you survive.

 

[elMerda]

Vaegir =)

 

[Acanthoid]

I serve no one, attack both caravans and can attack all the troops in the map, for loot ofcourse.

Had i pick a side it would be Vaegirs because Swadians have better equipment

 

[John Johnston]

They got most exciting missions ( Noblemen capture, Prisoners, Raiders ect)

Vaegirs get those mission too...

 

[John Johnston]

Oops sorry double post. Drat.

 

[Jaghatai Khan]

Vaegirs,nomadic outlook.

I'll fight western european looking guys any time with my nomadic skills

 

[calandale]

Jaghatai,

  Is there a good reason that you pulled up every Vaergir vs. Swadian thread that there is, and added almost nothing to them? I mean, necroing is fine and all, but one would suffice. Unless you are trying to make a point by filling the front page with as much of this crap as you can find.

 

[TheHybrid]

I would have voted Swadians if you wouldn't of closed the vote...

 

[Pipuli]

I would have voted Swadians if you wouldn't of closed the vote...

Same thing, if we talk about Vanilla.

 

[manslayer]

i made a polll like this but a little more options the answer was  swadians but itlll be goood to see another chance for vaigers

 

[Virsita]

I too agree with Vaegirs, and knowing Arnydil he agrees too...

He's probably bathing in Swadian blood right now...
