Light archers I guess are mostly comparable to what other factions have barring the Sturgian Hunter and Vlandian Ranger, whom i'll get to later. Heavy armor, bastard sword, 1-handed spear with lots of reach. Speaking of the Legionary, they're comparable to the Sergeant. ![]() Otherwise, you're probably better off saving money on a courser or Legionary if you want to use a two-handed weapon on foot. So i guess if you can find a stray horse that got caught in the middle of random debris, I guess the Menavlion Infantry can make for a decent horse thief if nothing else. Lastly, the introduction to the Pugio makes them probably one of the better peasant units in the games, which I think helps compensate for the nerfs applied to the Menavlion Infantry.Īnd yes, I will admit that playing the Menavlion Infantry isn't a pleasant experience, though I find that the balance changes to all Menavlions are more or less of a stealth buff for Coursers, where the slower swinging speed can be useful in lining up a mounted polearm swing. The recent buffs to throwing weapons also do a huge favour for them, too. Now that they have a starting shield, they are far less susceptible to ranged damage while also being able to return fire against archers themselves. The main reason for this is the Recruit buffs. Still, I think the changes are positive to such a degree that I think they aren't too far from Vlandia's position as the best faction. With the various balance changes that have occurred throughout Bannerlord's lifespan, I'd say that overall,the Empire has elevated themselves to a better position than the last few patches, though players who have mained the Menavlion Infantry may not be too pleased with the changes. Even so, the Peasant Levy is still powerful enough for late joiners to show off their skills. The Sergeant on the other hand, I think i'm acquiring a taste for him cuz I have been pretty guilty of overlooking the bastard sword for a long time and for his damage output, durability and cost, I'd say he's worth it, especially since you don't need to concern yourself too much about about dying without scoring a kill as Vlandia. In fact, I feel like the Voulge is powerful enough to such a degree that the Two Handed Sword and Sword and Shield perks might actually need buffs to make the sacrificing of that +9 armor worth it. Their infantry selection is probably one of the better ones in the game too, with the Volgier being decently durable for a 120 cost unit while dealing a huge chunk of damage themselves with their default voulge. Their selection of infantry and cavalry are also pretty good to the point where I actually felt kinda bad for not playing the Vanguard and Knight for a very long time until recently. ![]() The fact that they have crossbows definitely makes it so that they have one of the most powerful archers in the game and in fact, I'd likely argue that the Sharpshooter is more or less overpowered compared to other heavy archer units in the game. What they DO have is a powerful peasant unit that can be played as a semi-decent shock troop unit with Improved Armor and Billhook, though the pitchfork is also an option for stopping cavalry charges (or dealing mounted damage yourself if you can steal a horse). Sure, they don't have a javelin infantry, though the Volgier's throwing axes can fill a similar role. ![]() Probably the best faction in the game, though I will say that the Empire is a fairly close second. To start off the thread, I guess I'll start with my list How would you order the six factions in the game from best to worst and why you think that your ranking of the tiers is the way it is? Probably inappropriate for me to order factions from best to worst like they're characters in a fighting game, but i think tier lists are probably a good way to get a short summary of which faction is the best and which is the worst.
