I still prefer the vlandian sharpshooters. I prefer the extended range of the crossbow units. Not a huge fan of 2handed units so it helps that the sharpshooters turn into essentially t4 heavy infantry once out of ammo

Everyone uses Sturgia wrong lol. The whole point of Sturgian infantry is the Shield Wall formation. 3 men deep or more preferably, stops Cav charges and destroys any infantry. I've won battles against enemies twice the number while using no cav at all. Its a defensive army. Set up near the reinforcement line with a shield wall and let them come to you.

I think the legionary had a harder time with the recruits because of the mace they use, since blunt damage is better used on heavy armor. Edit: nevermind

The Battanians have the most well rounded troops in the game I think, especially the Fian Champion. Guys can snipe troops way before they get close, and then when they're close enough, big sword time. Of course, Khuzait mounted archers are the strongest in the game.

The way which troop was determined to be better was not a very good way of testing. One vs 2,3,4,5,6 is not the best way to determine which troop is better, as most of the time the infantry will be in large groups of around at least 100 infantryman in either line, shield wall or square formation.

Personally, I prefer the Sturgian heavy spearmen: - they have the best armor in the faction's military lineup (in fact, it seems like their chest armor is even better than that of druzhinnik - I don’t remember it from memory, but I can’t check it now); - they have both swords with high attack speed (which still do good damage and have a good length) and axes; - they cope equally well with both infantry and cavalry. Especially in the construction of a square (I hope it will be repaired back) or shield walls; - They don't have the problem of switching between ranged and melee weapons (when any unit with a thrown weapon is slow to change weapons when an enemy approaches and usually takes 1-2 hits before finally deciding to change weapons).

@RobertJones-vb2qi

Actually the spearman are the superior infantry atleast in terms of a meat shield for sturgia. Axemen don't have shoulders and the throwing axes don't make up for that in a heavy shield infantry fight. Besides I have archers or crossbow men to do ranged damage. I need my boys soaking not taking unnecessary fire trying to squeeze in a 15 damage throwing axe

These are far from the most powerful infantry since you are not including the more powerful infantry type: shock infantry. The testing method is also questionable since you rarely see units fight one on one and can be heavily influenced by random rolls. 30 v 30 is a more accurate size( more entertaining and easier to see the "health bar" as well).

not a great comparison video as there are tons of variables not taken into account: The recruits will have a random chance to stagger depending on their damage and will be more likely to stagger with two handen non-spear weapons. every test had random recruits whihc meant that some had a much easier time shrugging off damage and not getting staggered.
