Which faction has the best musketeers?

[vietanh797]

Veteran Serduk's of the Cossack Hetmanate have 165 rifle skill

with a carbine 80 accuracy?
no, thanks!

 

[TuranianGhazi]

commander and Guard commander I think
check out mercenary captain and personal guard commander too
as long as you have 4 of them it is ok cus khan cavalry suck

I saved up 100 wing hussar in my city and 40 Janissary now
it is hard to have Janissary cus I play polish quest line

Thanks!

Yeah, for some reason, mid-tier and even some high-tier Crimean Khanate faction cavalry are really bad.
However, the Tatar mercenary cavalrymen, fully outfitted and elite level, just PWN HARD and FAST. I really think that mercenaries shouldn't be THAT drastically better than faction troops, especially high-tier faction troops for which buildings had to be constructed and personnel hired. C'mon!

Janissary is the best
they have turk musket which have >100 damage and accuracy around 93 if my memory serve me right

How do you know what they have?  Do you know what kind of armor they use as well?

 

[Rhonerin]

Swedish mercenary is the best since they got high skill, best musket, great melee weapon and heavy armor.
If their fully upgraded that is

nah
just guess cus I never stand up after taken one shot from those guys
normally I can stand one shot from Lifeguard so I guess the Janissary use turk one

about the armor I can't but they can stand after taken one cut from my sword so they not bad after all(sweden reiter or hussar can stand 2 cut from me)

Thanks vietanh797, time to go recruit some Janissaries.

mercenaries still pwn everything. They are much faster to recruit and their armor is SOOOOOO much better. 20 european marksmen and 20 european infantry just kill everything they sent at me. Most of the time i fight against enemy lords with these troops and lose about 3 of them each battle. Ok i admit that they cost a huge amount of money (1K each) however, if you run caravans, you've got that in only 1 run and they can take on every threat (unless you are as stupid to try to take on the entire russian army by yourself: only 8 of my troops came on the field while they had 91...)

Yeah, faction troops should be upgrade-able with equipment just like merc troops. Then and only then would high-tier troops with usually higher weapon proficiencies than their merc ounterparts be able to compete or even surpass mercs. Until then merc customizing/upgrading equipment will trump faction troops, time and time again, unfortunately.

 

[Rhonerin]

Got atm 63 fully upgraded swedish calarvy mercs.
Ive destroyed 4 polish armies (one of them contained like 10 winged hussars) without a single loss.

Lol no they dont. Turkish is super elite, only for players however they do have good miquillet rifle which is still the best of all troops( just blow bullet through ur own jannisarys head and check out what gun he drops :p)

 

[lamerstein]

That's rather....cruel.
You evil, evil man.

Furthermore troops can spawn with different equipment, you have to headshot (commisar style) alot of them, just to be sure.

I now know how I will be commanding my troops in the future!  "GLORY TO THE FIRST MAN WHO FALLS!" "YOU DIE ON MY COMMAND, NOT BEFORE!" "I HAVE NOT GIVEN YOU LEAVE TO DIE, NOW GET BACK UP!"

And when a vehicle mod comes out, I can use my favorite: "DRIVE ME CLOSER I WANT TO HIT THEM WITH MY SWORD!"

 

[wannyboy]

Omg where did u find that guy

but what is this commisar guy actually?

 

[The Darklord]

wannyboy that is an Imperial Commissar is Warhammer 40K Imperial Guard officer see http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Commissar, who execute a member of there squad to increase the effectiveness of the squad.

In history Commissars are Russian Officials.

Can we say C H A R I O T S?  YES, WE CAN!!!!

 

[jackx]

Guns, and maybe some of those cossack wagons, which serve as mobile defensive position/gun mounts might be  a worthwhile addition, even though the game is probably a lot better off without giant shotguns of death, destruction and otherwise indiscriminate mass slaughter.

[Trithemius]

Got atm 63 fully upgraded swedish calarvy mercs.
Ive destroyed 4 polish armies (one of them contained like 10 winged hussars) without a single loss.

I use Swedish Reiters myself, they are not as awesome but The Price Is Right.

 

[french666]

janissary is second from the best, serduk veteran are the best, the best foot soldiers are scottish swordsman-mix em up with some pikeman-not sure who the best pikeman are

winged hussars are the best charging cavalry- but because they have pikes, they are vulnerable-mix them up with any other elites(swedish reiters and syutch)

 

[Trifail]

I like to keep it simple so i will join the swedish reiter group. Just keep a full army of them an you should be fine - in the offense attacking other armies & towns aswell as at defence protecting the wall.

But i do admit that i don't use mercs cause it seems that they are far more expensive for upkeep. Somebody please enlighten me on this.
