Mount and blade viking conquest factions

#Mount and blade viking conquest factions upgrade

The difference between the Angle and Saxon Warrior are few and mostly negligible Angle Warriors have slightly better armour and +5 polearm proficiency, while Saxon Warriors have +5 in both one-handed and throwing proficiencies.

While they have slightly higher polearms proficieciencies than average, they really arenвЂ™t too different from any of their fellow Tier 4 spearmen. These spear units are most likely going to make up most of any Angle or Saxon army the player will have, as they are affordable and good at what they do. That being said, letвЂ™s first look at the units that will probably make up the aforementioned вЂњstrong contingent of infantryвЂќвЂ¦ДЄngle/Saxon Warrior (Cempa) Spearmen As such, their other units should be viewed as support units for a strong contingent of infantry rather than viable substitutes. Still, itвЂ™s important to note that heavy infantry is to Viking Conquest what heavy cavalry is to Vanilla Warband, and the Anglo-Saxons certainly donвЂ™t lack in that department.

On the other hand, their bowmen are only Tier 2, but being at such a low tier with no possible upgrade they are mostly worthless, since their terrible accuracy means that even against enemies with no shields (which is rare in Viking ConquestвЂ™s mid to late game) they arenвЂ™t going to do much at range, and theyвЂ™ll do even less in melee. At Tier 4, the horsemen arenвЂ™t really a substitute to equivalent tiers of infantry, especially since they lack Horsemen Javelins. While having access to long-range damage in the bowmen and speed in horsemen is nice, in addition to the fact that both archers and cavalry were heavily nerfed in Viking Conquest, neither are good enough in terms of efficiency to recommend using. However, the Anglo-Saxons are not without flaws. They also have access to cavalry AND archers, making them more balanced in terms of army composition compared to the Norse. The Saxon Noble and Angle Bodyguard are two of only five units in the entire DLC that boast being level 31, making them true top-tier units.

Much like their ancestors who once gave the Romans much trouble across and along the Rhine, they are also capable warriors, possibly the only factions capable of truly competing against the Norse in terms of infantry. Historically, the Angles and Saxons are two tribes of the group of peoples the Romans called the Germani. The previous post on the Goidelic/Irish troop tree in Viking Conquest in case you missed it.
