I'm currently playing a russia, expert, high, domination game. After wiping out the horde I'm unsure of what to take into the middle east. I'm thinking that armored spearmen, with no armor upgrades, are going to form the main line of my armies but what to use for flankers? Russia has a really limited infantry selection. No swords, no axes. Am I going to be stuck with Step heavies and Bowyars as my flanking melee troops or is there something I'm overlooking? I sure wish Vikings were available to me in high, they'd fit the bill perfectly.
