Hi Axalon,
;-)) you know me too good meanwhile - 20 men of Norse Bodyguard, led by a prince, 7star, valour8, became 16 years old two years after the Great Pagan Temple was finished - fighting in a dense wood on a hill, rainy weather, opponents were mainly Spears, Archers, Royal Knights, a few units Regular Infantry, Billmen a.s.o - nothing to fear ;-))
and they died in the end, but only after they had cleared a province for invasion. It´s the usual job I give to unwanted/unloyal princes ;-))
The only thing I can say about tactics AGAINST the Norse is: don´t let them hide, pepper them with arrows/crossbow bolts, and come with NUMBERS!! (even a simple unit of Norse Infantry, except the daigaku-usual morale upgrades nothing special, tricked about 230 men into forest death!) If there are Bodyguards around, even Cav-attacks won´t help much - in open field those 20 men (with Princes/valour5 and up) are able to finish between 90 and 150 HeavyCav....
now will have a look at the other thread ;-))
playful greetings daigaku
