![]() ![]() I might be wrong, but that's what I remember reading and it's seemed true in my experience. The reason for this I guess is that an archer/pike combo gets strong performance at both stages of combat, both skirmish and melee (particularly with a commander from a pike-friendly culture), whereas a pure heavy infantry army can get torn up in the skirmish phase. Even an anglo-saxon nation would be better off building a pure mix of pikes/archers than with their nation-specific housecarls (with heavy infantry and commander bonuses). I may be wrong, but from a min/maxing standpoint I think it was most effective to build pike retinues. I think 'generic retinues' mean the non-faction ones, so Cataphract/Housecarl/Longbows etc are out. ![]()
