Only the Empire Palatine Guard has fewer arrows due to only having one quiver, but the Palatine Guard makes up for it with incredibly high quality armor and t4 melee weapon. Barbed arrows are the lowest tier arrow for a t5 troop and their leather armor makes them relatively fragile compared to their Empire, Aserai or Khuzait counterparts. The Sturgian Veteran Bowsman: Quite possibly the worst t5 basic tree archer in the game. Let's address the last tier of each of these units in reverse order: You have all your infantry archetypes, a light missile cav unit, and an archer unit. Looking at the Sturgian roster alone, it's pretty diverse. This is the vision that the Sturgians seem to be selling and the vision that the Sturgian roster fails to live up to.
A shield wall that blocks all projectiles, braces against all cavalry charges, and marches ever forward, cutting down any infantry foolhardy enough to stand in their way. In a game where typically cavalry and missiles tend to be the star players, having an army that puts the focus on the rank and file infantry is somewhat charming. This is what drew me to them in the first place, I personally am a sucker for the elite melee infantry archetype. Now, where does that leave Sturgia?įrom the lore perspective they are a hardy and proud northern people whose iconic shielded infantry were able to best and repel the Empire's legionaries, which would imply a focus on elite melee infantry. Each of these has it's own iconic personality and a roster that highlights each of their respective strengths. Vlandia with it's banner knights and crossbowmen, the Empire with it's heavily armored legionaries and cataphracts, Battanians with their elite noble archers and falxman, Khuzait and their heavily armored archer cavalry. From the perspective of a newcomer, it's clear that every faction has a unique specialization, often expressed through the lore of the game itself.
