The best bows, great melee weapons, and a niche, but diverse and effective troop selection. They are fast, they have very nice weapon skills, they wear low armor so they are mobile, and the lack of shield translates into a powerful two handed weapon. combined with heavily armored, ubiquitous cavalry, like Perisno, that you need the ability to absorb a full charge.īut in Native, which after all is the subject of this thread? Kill the lord, throw your immortal companions at the enemy, distract those that get out of the clump, have your ranged troops fire in the melee, and if needed, charge the enemy when he is about to rout.Īnd no one does the above better than Vaegirs. It's only mods with very good tactical A.I. may be good enough to throw a charge correctly, and not get distracted, but my ranged troops will decimate 90% of charges.

In mods like Gekokujo or Suvarnabhumi Mahayuth, the tactical A.I.

In mods like Viking Conquest, where the enemy is slow and remains in complex formations, a group of immortal companions can lead them on a merry chase long enough for you to set up enfilades, flanking attacks, etc. If there is a lord, he gets an arrow in the back of the head, and his men will once again charge me. If the enemy is unled, I will make them fixate on my character, and they will never charge my ranks. In mods similar to Native, I usually play a horse archer. babysitting.īut I have to say, in most mods, the enemy NEVER lands a cavalry charge on me. As I said, they require a lot more player skill, i.e. Ursprungligen skrivet av les:But they can be easily killed by a good cavalry charge if they dont have a meat shield or it's almost gone. They are glass cannons, but no one kills faster. Vaegir guards have significantly higher damage output than Nord huscarls, fight better at close range than Swadian knights, and can go through Rhodock armor better than anyone.Īll top speedruns have used Vaegirs. In the long run, a Vaegir guard charge slaughters more enemies than any other other, as long as you have distracted the enemy before it lands. Once the enemy gets stuck there, the Vaegir guards charge is devastating. The latter work particularly well in the field, where dismounted horses create an additional obstacle. put the shieldless top tier in its own division, and leave the remaining, cheap infantry for use as meat shields. You should separate them in two groups, i.e. If you try to use them the way you use huscarls, they will get slaughtered. No other infantry can dish out as much damage as they can, but you have to make sure that they are not annihilated before they can reach the enemy. Vaegirs infantry takes a lot of skill to use effectively.

Nearly as bad as the Khergit Tribesmen and certainly worse than the Sassanids. Ursprungligen skrivet av Alberto Barbosa:But Vaegirs have THE worst infantry in the game.
