Enemy Troops! Throw your best ideas at me!

[Laisha]

Alright, so here's a few ideas...

• Mercenary Steppe Riders
  
• Short Bows, Arrows, Sabres and Shields
  
• Light to medium armor, light horses
  
• Medium difficulty
  
• These will obviously be horse archers.  They can have high riding, but their horse archery should be fairly low so they don't pick off players too easily.
  
• They shouldn't be too common
  

• Mercenary Steppe Lancer
  
• Lance, Sabre, Shield
  
• Medium, rarely heavy, medium horse
  
• Medium difficulty
  
• No slower horses.  This cavalry is purely for light lancing to catch players who are exposed.
  

• Rhodok Mercenary Spearman
  
• Spears (One-handed, sometimes two-handed), Cleaver, Board Shield
  
• Heavy Armor
  
• Medium-Hard difficulty
  
• Sturdy heavy infantry with high one-handed and polearm proficiency.  This could be a possible challenge wave.
  

• Hired Javelineers
  
• Javelins or Jarids, Swords or Axes, Kite Shields
  
• Light to Medium armor
  
• Medium to Hard Difficulty
  
• Sarranid-type troops.  Should be fast and accurate throwers, but easy to kill if their shields can be circumvented.  Possible challenge wave.
