Veagirs vs Swadians, which one to pick?

I was wondering which faction to choose when the time comes to pledge loyalty to one. I've hired mostly veagirs as troops since the beginning. I've compared a little with swadians, swadians seem to be less good level-wise for the tree-level they're at, but I didn't experience a full swadian army yet.

I'm also considering the faction missions, are they similar?
 
who cares what makes vaegirs underdogs. Vaegirs are strong. The only prob with em is they have lots of deserters. swadians are weak. ive beaten a war party of the swadians with my army of 3 knights with ease...

OK, so i was fighting alon side vaegirs, but who cares. the point is that vaegirs are stronger, and you've more of a chance finidng a vaegir footman to hire than a swadian...too many peasents to be hired...

The easiness of finding Vaegir Footmen is because they are second tier units, where as Swadian footmen are third.

Vaegirs are considered 'underdogs' because they are fighting for their independence.

And saying that the Vaegir are stronger... I doubt you have tested Swadians well enough. Swadian Knigts are better armored, they have better horses, andthey have piercing weapons (which makes them ideal anti-knight units).
 
Swadians hands down. The missile units kick arse and the Knights are better than Vaegirs. If memory serves, Swadians tens to be one level higher than their Vaegir counterparts.
 
I support Vaegirs, started with them and just prefer them. I like the bastard feeling they have, the Swadians are pretty boys :wink:
 
I started with Vaegirs soldiers and kept losing units, especially Horsemen and Knights.
After filling an empty slot with rescued Swadian Man at Arms on a few occassions, I found they rarely died in battle compared to Vaegir units of equal and greater wages.

I use Swadian units now and am quite happy.
 
You know, it'd be good if the story got fleshed out a little more. It's kind of hard to decide which side to be in if you aren't told anything about the situation. Why is there a war? What is each side fighting for?
 
Yeah but story telling is a big part of this RPG thing. I expect all this will be in later versions anyway, so mew.
 
Swadians, naturally. I'll side with the oppressing force any day! Vaegirs can wiggle and jiggle for their freedom as much as they want: ultimately, resistance is futile. :grin:

Amen! :grin:

Besides, Swadians have a lot of lancers while few Vaegirs have way fewer :roll:
