This approach is ideal for the mixed fighter. Start off the battle with some throwing spears or maybe a lance and then switch to a one handed sword and take out your enemies in a series of ride by slashings. The fact you can run down heavy knights, slash them and then outrun them until you can manoeuvre into another risk free ride by is great. Archers on very fast horses can still prove to be a major frustration but if you save throwing spears for them and target their horses you can bring them down quickly.

Heavy and Slow but Deadly

Armor – The stereotypical knight is weighed down by plate armor, a heavy helmet, gauntlets and greaves. He is virtually indestructible and can take several blows before showing any sign of damage. He is also incredibly slow and cumbersome. You’ll need to build up your strength in order to adopt this kind of armor but it does allow you to take on multiple enemies without fear. It goes best with a heavy weapon which will fell an opponent in one swing.

Horse – You can’t expect a Saddle Horse to carry all that weight. If you go for heavy armor then you’ll want a War Horse. The War Horse is protected by heavy mail and capable of charging straight through a group of enemies leaving them all sprawling in the dirt. They are slow and they don’t manoeuvre easily but they’ll take an awful lot of damage before they go down. You’ll need to build up good riding skills to get one of these but a fully armored knight and horse combination is a formidable sight.

This approach is suited to bloodthirsty scrappers who want to be in the thick of the action. You’ll probably use a lance or a two handed weapon and your charges will end in death for your target. You’ll also be able to ride straight into big groups of enemies and swing away without much fear. The big drawback is that you’ll never catch fast archers and you’ll be vulnerable to well armoured and armed enemies on Hunters. For taking on big infantry armies this is the best approach.

Sieges

It is a good idea to have a heavy set of armor for sieges even if you don’t use it in open battles. Horses play no part in sieges but you will find yourself facing down a lot of enemies in tight, constricted situations and being able to deal out big damage and take a few hits is hugely advantageous. Since the battle will end if you get knocked out, and your troops will not perform anywhere near as well without you, it is important that you don’t fall during a siege.

The NE dev team spans many people over many years. We have come and gone, and many hands have been in this pot. None of us own it, but all of us do, and for that reason we do provide the sources to NE (available through the mod and through the Taleworlds forums). This is a completely free-to-use module for fun, and if you want to tinker with it, rebuild it, do whatever - go for it - you just can't call it 'Native Expansion'.

It was never meant to be personal.
The late King Graveth's gambit all those years ago was one of necessity. The people were underfed, overworked, and on the verge of full scale revolutionary activity. A common enemy was needed.
It was supposed to be a simple target..
..But Graveth, former king of Rhodokia and loather of cats, was far from versed in the skill of calculated betting.

The army was crushed, scattered to the sands along with hope for the future. The hatred that was bred on those deserts survived, and the Rhodoks and Sarranids have viciously warred since.
Perhaps the most bitter rivalry among the lords of Calradia, the two kingdoms have paid each other back many times over: Jelkala sacked and recaptured, Almerra turned into a state of anarchy, and both Hakim and Graveth alike succumbing to the wars known as the 'Crusades'.
Their successors have not showed any signs of deescalation, continuing the endless flood of violence in many more battles. King /u/Perjunkie of Rhodoks has continued his predecessor's defensive strategy, defending the capital at all costs after it's reclamation by the founder of the Rhodok Republic, the late Lord Cakus.
Sultan /u/Arthanias of the Sarranids remembers the day that Jelkala was wrestled back from him all too well. Holding back until the time was right, he has now decided to once more take up the sword against the republicans of the west.
The leader of the Sultanate is a clever man: He could never hope to sack the city after it's repairs and reinforcements, at least alone. Some historians argue that the city would have remained in Sarranid hands if not for the Vaegir lords that Cakus had won over previously arriving in the nick of time to bolster the attackers' resolve.
But the Vaegirs are no longer friends of the Republic. Far from it. King /u/Perjunkie, in a confusing display of foreign policy, has renounced all support for the Vaegir Empire, spurning years of cooperation. Being a pragmatic people, the Vaegirs have chosen instead to honor their other long standing alliance with the Sarranids.
