The Rhodok military tree somewhat resembles that of the Nords considering the absence of cavalry, instead choosing to place an emphasis on heavy hitting top tier infantry. The top-tier of the Rhodok infantrymen are their Sergeants, armed with Glaives and Military Hammers to give them a great advantage in offensive and defensive engagements. The Rhodoks are fond of the spear and the crossbow, and their armies are largely composed of spear-armed foot soldiers and professional crossbowmen, both equipped with large Board Shields to offer full protection from volleys of arrows. The Rhodoks rely heavily on well-equipped and hardy militias, unlike the levied footsoldiers and heavily armored knights of their Swadian and Sarranid neighbors. Lowest strategic maneuverability out of all factions.Infantry units (besides the sergeant) semi-consistently spawn without shields.Excellent spearmen for resisting cavalry charges and holding the line.All rulers of the Rhodoks thenceforth were elected kings, the latest of which is King Graveth. The Rhodoks built Grunwalder Castle at the place where Grunwalder fell in battle as a celebration of his contributions.Īrtimenner recounts when the player nears Culmarr Castle, that the count of that fortress used its geographical advantage to levy heavy taxes on all nearby caravan routes, and used this as leverage to be elected King of the Rhodoks. Grunwalder would die in the rebellion he started, but his memory would live on as the Rhodoks swore never to bow to any king again.
The Rhodoks' pikemen and crossbowmen were fielded in mountainous terrain to defeat the Knights of Swadia, as they lacked cavalry and thus relied on pike and crossbow to prevail over the Knights.īunduk recounts how a war veteran named Grunwalder came "over the hills" after the war and taught the Rhodoks the art of war to defend themselves against the Swadians, effectively becoming an ancestral hero to the Rhodok people. Their origin is reflected in their troop types and choice of territory. The Rhodoks were originally part of the Kingdom of Swadia, but successfully fought a war for independence.
