The Rhodoks' pikemen and crossbowmen were fielded in mountainous terrain to defeat the Knights of Swadia, as they lacked cavalry and thus relied on pike and crossbow to prevail over the Knights.īunduk recounts how a war veteran named Grunwalder came "over the hills" after the war and taught the Rhodoks the art of war to defend themselves against the Swadians, effectively becoming an ancestral hero to the Rhodok people. Their origin is reflected in their troop types and choice of territory. Swadia can also train crossbowmen, although their crossbowmen are outmatched by those trained by the Rhodoks.The Rhodoks were originally part of the Kingdom of Swadia, but successfully fought a war for independence. Swadian infantry resembles a mix between Vaegir and Rhodok infantry.
Swadia also has some decent infantry, but not as good as Nordic infantry. Swadian troops rely mainly on the strength of their Knights to power through all enemy formations. Swadian Knights are the most powerful cavalry units in the game, rivaled only by Sarranid Mamlukes. Swadians also use crossbowmen instead of archers, yet it seems the bow is a common Swadian weapon among its forest bandits, arena fighters and hunters. Swadian melee troops prefer to wield swords, heavy maces, and voulges. The eastern town of Dhirim is likely to be regularly taken by neighboring factions.
Swadian armies are usually more expensive to support than those of the Vaegirs, and are usually not as strong in numbers.Īt the beginning of the Native Campaign, the Kingdom of Swadia is the strongest faction in the game, although its central starting position means that it is usually tied up with wars on numerous fronts.
The Kingdom of Swadia is similar to the Kingdom of Vaegirs, as both factions have almost identical troop progression.
