Name: Nord Hersirs

Local military commanders in the Nord Empire, Hersirs have sworn allegiance to their king and are eager to litter the earth with Swadian corpses. They call upon their gods to protect them and are too proud to wear body armor, but are willing to wear a helmet and leg armor as well as wield a shield on the orders of their king. Skilled with deadly axes, both for close quarters combat and for throwing, they are a force to be reckoned with and are a vital part of a Nordic army.

Type: Infantry (dunno whether to call them light or medium)
Weapons: One-handed battle axe, Throwing axes, and heavy board shield or Huscarl's Round Shield
Armor: Nordic Huscarl's Helmet, no body armor, mail boots,
Difficulty: Medium-Hard
Abilities: can feint, can chamber, has high accuracy

Basically, it's a troop in between a beserker and a huscarl or trooper. It can easily be taken out by flank or back shots, but head shots against board shields should be very difficult and the mail boots should reduce damage from leg shots. Also, it's feinting and chambering capabilities as well as near indestructible shield and large number means infantry MUST cooperate with archers to take them down with minimal casualties. Throwing axes and their high accuracy means archers must either hide behind a shield or constantly evade, reducing their firing rate. Their one-handed battle axes can inflict some pretty high damage close range and also chew through shields.

Could make them an exclusive wave or maybe toss them into a mix of other units since the Hersirs are commanders.

those hersirs would be a nice huscarl alternative, like it

Name: Vaegir Boyars

Having allied themselves to the Nord Empire in the hopes of grabbing territory and as a result of skirmishes along the border, the Vaegir Kingdom has sent its own troops to bolster the Nord ranks. The weak, undisciplined Vaegir soldiers have crumbled against the disciplined and skilled Swadian army, however, and their fearsome lords, the Boyars, have decided to take matters into their own hands. The Boyars have swept through Swadia alongside the Nord army, cutting through Swadians on the battlefield with their fearsome bardiches and unleashing deadly volleys of javelins. Renowned for their great strength and speed, at least one Boyar accompanies a Nord army as a commander, and several have entire units of Boyars used as shock troops. One Boyar is often enough to sway the tide of a battle and rally even the most reluctant Nord prisoner to fight fiercely. More than one Swadian knight has fled the battlefield in face of these ferocious warriors, and thousands more have died at their hands.

Type: Heavy Infantry
Weapons: Great Long Bardiche, javelins (three bags, less if that's too OP)
Armor: Vaegir War Mask, Vaegir Elite Armor, Iron Greaves, Lamellar Gauntlets
Difficulty: hard
Abilities: Can feint, can chamber, has high accuracy, has high atheltics and thus speed, at least equal to that of a heavy longbowman or longbowman

Boyars are a tier above the zweihanders. Their lack of shields means that headshots can easily take them down. Their bardiche's length and damage along with their javelins makes them highly versatile, as they can easily take down archers who don't dodge or take cover as well as unarmored to medium armored infantry with their javs. Bardiches can be used to cut down cav who come to close, and their feinting and chambering abilities can tear through infantry who aren't careful with their blocks and swings.They're going to be hell for some newbies, but for skilled veteran players they should only be mildy more challenging than zweihanders.

Boyars could be an exclusive wave like zweihanders, or Boyars could be tossed into a mix if vaegirs mercs are ever introduced. A quest for them would be nice, like "Boyar Bashing" or something like that. Kill maybe 10 Boyars and a reward would be maybe 3000 gold and 50 FP.

P.S. glad you like my idea Krieg
