This is Caldaria, a land ravaged by wars between the 5 great nations: The Nords: Unparalleled infantry with heavy chain armor, and large axes for fighting and throwing. The kings and lords are hot headed and traditional
The Vaegirs: The balanced peoples, the kings cool headed and a variety of troops excelling at horsemanship and light infantries.
Kingdom of Swadia: Heavy Cavalry oriented with reliable heavy infantry, their lords and kings are very cautious, being in the center of the continent
Khergit Khanate: Born in the saddle, and die in the saddle, these people hail from the steppes, they excel in horsemanship, and their leaders are master hit and run tacticians, prolonged engagements are the bane of their existence
The Rhodoks: They're the best at killing horses with their spears and men with their crossbows, they are perfect for defending areas and will do it with their lives, not surprisingly their kings are the same
These kingdoms have fought for centuries. They are in desperate need of nobles and vassals to help raise armies for their constant state of warring.
This game will include a lot of talking, debating, etc. and not be all action so be prepared for it.

"SEPERATE NOW!" I order the militia. Once, they do so, I turn to the cavalry. "While charging, use your horse as a weapon. After doing so, switch to your spear. Charge!" I charge along with the other cavalrymen into the enemy. Now they are being flanked by the militia, and attacked by the cavalry at the front.

I use my horse as cover while I peek out every so often. If the cavalry can distract the enemy from firing, I move forward to join the fray. If not, I look around at my surroundings.
