On Playing Scotland...

[SoxSexSax]

I still stand by my assertion that they are 2nd easiest faction. Troop roster means nothing compared to starting location...who needs elite troops to beat the AI? Nobody I know!

[llewellyn]

but they do have elite troops just they are not that good unless you are pro with pikes

[dismal]

They get FKs and DFKs, which are plenty elite enough.

The only things I can see missing from the roster, are horse archers, early spears, gunpowder and long range missiles. Other than that, they have everything.

- They have excellent fast cav in border horses, one of the few western units who are fast, and thus a tremendous advantage when chasing routers and skirmishing. They can actually catch hobilars.
- As for heavy cav, they have order knights. No need for anything else.
- They have wonderful pikes, of course
- Good early offensive infantry in the highlanders and nobles, not a lot of factions who get that
- good late swordsmen
