Why did they suck so much?

Why did they suck so much?

Those are Nords from the computer game Mount and Blade

The Nords suck so much because they don't have any sort of cavalry force

Atleast they don't swallow, like your mom. Amirite?

>muh huscarls
Nord posters need to leave altogether

they have no real counter for swadian knights desu

>M&B
>opting for anything but a million Swabian knights
Lul

Nords are for taking castles, swadians are for taking the field

King Ragnar deserves a swift kick in the dick.

greediest king

Nords are great for taking and holding castles, which are the only kind of battles that matter. So what if Swadian Knights steamroll on the field, they just get chopped into mincemeat when they try to storm the walls.

they were literally just some farmers from the north that would come together for random degenerate pillage shit. it lasted like 200 years at a maximum until they realized that actual armies with real, trained soldiers were starting to get annoyed with their faggotry attacking their little towns of peasants and shit, so they just quit.

>puny Rhodok bolts getting through BIG HUSKARL SHIELDS
In your dreams, dirty Rhodok hillbilly.

>Not joining Vaegirs to go to Yarogleks awesome feasts

What about other swadian knights?

Please, Swadian knights are just as OP off the horse as on it. What sucks most is how long they take to train, losing half a dozen is a real pain.

Vaegir knights are underrated imo, along with all the other good units Vaegir knights can generally hold their own even against Swadian if you control your units well enough

>no shield
They're useless

You dont even really need to do that though since the ai is so bad at leveling up its troops. Even though a Vaegir knight is 'technically' weaker than a Swadian knight, the fact that 1/2 your force is knights and only 1/4 of the Swadian force is knights and the rest footmen or, god help them, militia, usually means battles are lopsided.

Same goes for sieges. It's all well and good that a force of 200 nords are in a castle but my 75 Vaegir knights will mop the floor with the 10 huskarls they have since the huskarls have to carry 150 recruits and footmen.

It's really why I don't play vanilla anymore.

Sometimes they have a shield.

Huskarls really OP though. Letting 30 or so go nuts on a castle was basically just easy mode.
