who is better viking or saxon huscarles

[scooter_the_shooter]

i would like to know who has the best huskarls http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/bigthumb.gif

[katank]

both are identical stats.

since viking ones can be BGs, they will have edge in being more likely to be jedi but if normal units trained, they are identical.

BAH


vikings are the bestAll of their kind

[Lord Armbandit]

I prefer the vikings.....

Not because they are actually any better, just because Vikings rock

[Xiphias]

Aren't Joms vikings better than huscarls though?

[Bhruic]

Statwise, yeah, not sure if the advantage is enough to offset the extra turn of training...

Bh

[katank]

jomsvikings aren't viking huscarles.

they are about 5 for everything vs. 4 for everything.

same armor though which is 3 with large shield IIRC.

they also cost 725 vs. 425 and 2 turns to train instead of 1 so isn't worth it IMHO esp. as huscarles get extra valor and isn't that much worse.

Who cares Katank when you're rich daft and like a weird unit. I'm loony so I prefer Joms Vikings http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-2thumbsup.gif

[katank]

true enough. I just find it that when I can train joms, the game is already decided.

I do like it for sake of bragging rights of being able to field 16 most powerful infantry period.

even modded it into the MTW map for that purpose.

I like joms too but don't think of them as very practical.

[scooter_the_shooter]

i was doing a custom batlle and i ahd all joms just for fun and i was defending a castle and i charged them and i thought i was winning but for no reason almost all of them routed back into the castle i dont know why

[katank]

umm, maybe since they cost so much they are at a disadvantage valorwise.

v0 jom isn't really better than v1 huscarles and only win marginally.

if you charge out of the castle, you may get flanked as you exit and thus they may rout.

there's no super unit that can really take flanking and rear attacking by anything and win although joms are exceptionally strong.

Heh. But that's the best part http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I imagine I am looney as well, since I also really like joms for some intangible reason...
