The Holy Swadian Empire - Army

Army Structure
The Empire fields pike blocks accompanied by skirmisher crossbowmen and handgunners. Also, being one of the richest and oldest factions in Calradia and constantly being assailed from all sides, the Holy Swadian Empire also incorporates numerous mercenary companies. Their strongest weapons however are the Imperial Knights accompanied by Demilancers.

Tactics
1.have a Arquebusiers in the front and fire the volleys to their enemy.Infantry will stay behind them.When enemy are get too close order your Infantry to charge while Arquebusiers provide the support. 2.Order your knights to go and disrupt the Enemy.

Swadian Footman
The volunteers or conscripts that are drawn from the humble towns of Swadia. They used to be the the Empire's rank and file until the creation of the Landsknechts. Coming from the different lands of the Empire, they have no standard equipment be it crossbow, sword and shield, or spear. Basic skills and mediocre equipment but still dangerous in numbers.

Landsknecht Pikeman
Armed with nothing but the pike, these troops are best kept in formation when facing other formations. They're not as good as their Laurian counterparts, but they get the job done of presenting a wall of spears towards the enemy.

Crossbowman
- Swadia's first tier ranged unit. They do what is required of any ranged unit. But as an added bonus, some crossbowmen would bring along shields that'll help them in close combat.

Sharpshooter
- Don't let the name fool you, their is no sharpshooting when the firearm you wield is a blunderbuss. It is very inaccurate, but nevertheless it is a firearm, which means it'll wreak havoc on armored foes. They are designed to be close ranged skirmishers, supporting the Landsknecth pikeblock. Furthermore, when things get gritty, most sharpshooters carry shields and are well armored enough.

Veteran Landsknecht Pikeman
- Skilled and better armored counterparts of the Landsknecht company. Their breastplates and feathered but armored headgear gives them enough staying power that the ordinary pikeman lacks. Still best kept in formation.

Landsknecht Doppelsoldner
- Landsknechts given twice as much wage for their expertise and bravery to assault the enemy. These men wield massive two handed, "Zweihander", swords. With it they can wreak havoc on enemy formations. Aside from the mercenaries, these are the only reliable swordsmen that Swadia have. The are also well armored like veteran pikemen.

Swadian Standard Bearer
- Those soldiers who show tremendous bravery in combat (and survive) are given the honor of carrying the Doppelkopfiger Adler Standard to lead the ranks of infantry to battle.

Demilancers
- The support cavalry of the Empire. Riding atop hunters, wearing half armor, and armed with lances these riders are mobile enough to support knights against other cavalry, but also packs enough punch when wielded in large numbers to take down any foe short of a pike formation. Ultimately, the demilancers get upgraded to HSE's most powerful unit discussed later.

Knights
- Swadia has always been fond of its Knights, from the medieval days of Vanilla Mount and Blade until the age of the Holy Swadian Empire in the EATRC. Swadian Knights are snobbish with their shining heavy plate armors as well as their mighty steeds, chargers fully armored and breed only for war. But no one who ever faced them, could deny how deadly it is to the enemy when the Swadian Knights charge. These guys are perhaps the most powerful anti-infantry cavalry in the the whole land, when compared to the cavalry of other factions. They are armed only with a great lance, but they are tough enough to survive and mow down most troops.
