WARBAND FACTION RHODOKS IN A NUTSHELL!

[TheSarranid]

Rhodoks: Hey guys! LETS DECLARE WAR AND GO ON A CRUSADE! "k Grabth" *2 days later, at Wayyeh Castle*  FOR ASFHAUSG! HEYAAAAAAAAAAA! *1000 Sarranid Arrows to the Knee* *1 Brain Cell to the posters head* MEN! RETREAAAT! *MAMLUKE CHARGE SPAM.* Quick! We must defend Jamiche Castle! "Sire, the Sarranids are approaching! What shall we do?!?!?!?" Simple! TO THE RHODOK DEFENSIVE SIEGE MG42 CROSSBOWS!

 

[TheSarranid]

5 Denars I get flamed because everyone on this board (And by that I mean those AAR guys) love the Rhodoks!

 

[bonez899]

That is completely incorrect... Or at least you should add in there somewhere "LETS TAKE SHARIZ GIVE THEM JAMICHE AND DECLARE PEACE!!!!"

U SO STUPID I PWN U nOOb!!!


Anyway, are you going to do one of these for every faction?

 

[TheSarranid]

Yes I am!

 

[tzlop]

Do one for each, that would be very nice.

In general, the Rhodoks not only has the best x-bowman but almost every castle Rhodoks has is like a F****** clam shell, easy to defend- hard to siege and everyone should know the moment you and your grand army attemping to siege Grunwalder castle but took an arrow to the kne- *Recieves a bolt to the face*

Khergits: LET'S HAVE ALL OUR TROOPS BE HORSE ARCHERS BUT NEVER USE OUR RANGED WEAPONS AND BUM-RUSH INTO A WALL OF POINTY STICKS!

 

[Captured Joe]

Pfff... It's more like:

YO MEN LET'S REVOLT AGAINST SWADIA LET'S HAVE DEMOCRACY AND STUFF *Graveth becomes King* SCREW DEMOCRACY SCREW KNIGHTS LETS BEAT SWADIA AND SARRANIDS *Swadian horses trample Rhodok line* KILL THOSE SNOBBISH KNIGHTS, FOR FREEDOM!! *Swadian Sergeants & knights finish useless Rhodok spear-armed infantry with Bastard swords and Morningstars* HAH SWAD YOU CAN'T BEAT US IN SIEGES, LETS RETREAT TO THE HILLS & CASTLES SCREW THE SWADIANS GET THE SARRANIDS *Sarranids ride down their lines with mamelukes* SCREW THE BATTLES TELS RETREAT NOBODY CAN TAKE OUR CASTLES TROLOLOL

I believe Graveth is Harlaus' brother, I was playing the Freelancer mod and I joined Graveth's army and Graveth decided the usual feast for a few days was nonsense.... the feasting lasted for at least 2 months in which 0 wars were fought.

nonsense. if he was truly harlus's brother their would have been both endless wars and feasting.

 

[Captured Joe]

But that's extactly what happens in WB, right?

BTW, when playing Freelancer as a Sergeant in Harlaus' army, He declared a feast once (or maybe a second time without me knowing), in about 100? days (maybe less, but over 80). And, in the same game, he stormed Narra, and he and Count Haringoth were real killing machines, hacking through the Khergit masses (which outnumbered us), and taking their city! Ah, it was glorious (until I was KO'd, that is).

I find it funny how the AI never uses the advantage given to them properly unless the player controls it.

Like Rhodoks. They're supposed to be anti-cav but without the player they just march in a single rank. Not gonna stop many horses that way.

And the Vaegirs often have more knights and horsemen than their marksmen.

Do I even need to say what the khergits do?

The Swadians and nords are so effective because the best thing for their specialties is to do what the AI does best. Blindly rush!

It seems like all the other faction's troops wish they were nordic or swadian...

 

[ThorofAsgard]

Vaegirs are still pretty decent,
Khergits just suck balls, get slaughtered by everything and everyone and I bet even My Little Pony could defeat them if given weapons.
Swadians and Nords blind rush, but the blind rush can be stopped by a very large amount of arrows/bolts (I can kill Swadian armies with a large amount of crossbowmen, and A.I armies have like... seventy crossbowmen so if you're playing with Battle Sizer cranked up then Rhodoks own.)

No, he has obviously learned from his brother and decided the best thing to do is feast and that war is for the insane unless your the nords or khergits who seem to always dominate my map.

Well, PBOD fixes that

DO NOT FORGET THE BEARDS. A Nord without a beard is like a Khergit without a horse, or a Swadia without a feast

 

[lordJehovah]

heh i don't know about others but i say Rhodoks are a bunch of small-minded chumps. I swapped Suno (which I owned), which was under siege with Count Matheas' Veluca, the richest city (in my game). dumb fool
