Rhodok troops are mainly effective against cavalry. Furthering this comparison, despite Rhodok infantry not quite matching the strength of Nord Huscarls, any disparity is quickly bridged when you take the supremacy of the Rhodok Sharpshooter over the Nord Veteran Archers into account, and the Glaives of Rhodok veteran spearmen can even the odds if you have enough. The Rhodok military tree somewhat resembles that of the Nords considering the absence of cavalry, instead choosing to place an emphasis on heavy hitting top tier infantry.
The top-tier of the Rhodok infantrymen are their Sergeants, armed with Glaives and Military Hammers to give them a great advantage in offensive and defensive engagements. The Rhodoks are fond of the spear and the crossbow, and their armies are largely composed of spear-armed foot soldiers and professional crossbowmen, both equipped with large Board Shields to offer full protection from volleys of arrows. The Rhodoks rely heavily on well-equipped and hardy militias, unlike the levied footsoldiers and heavily armored knights of their Swadian and Sarranid neighbors.
The Rhodoks' pikemen and crossbowmen were fielded in mountainous terrain to defeat the Knights of Swadia, as they lacked cavalry and thus relied on pike and crossbow to prevail over the Knights.īunduk recounts how a war veteran named Grunwalder came "over the hills" after the war and taught the Rhodoks the art of war to defend themselves against the Swadians, effectively becoming an ancestral hero to the Rhodok people. Their origin is reflected in their troop types and choice of territory. The Rhodoks were originally part of the Kingdom of Swadia, but successfully fought a war for independence.
