* Swadia reigns supreme with their Heavy Cavalry, being the only faction with access to premium Warhorses and full-body armored Elites
The three specialist factions: Swadia, Vaegirs and Nord * Generalist factions have lower level caps, but have a more diverse troop tree and no weaknesses * Specialist factions see higher level caps in their specialty and higher level elites * All faction soldiers adhere to the strict leveling guideline, which ensures all soldiers could be realistically built by the player
* All factions are now either a generalist or a specialist in a particular field of Infantry, Archers and Cavalry * All factions now adhere to 1 of 2 standard troop trees, with a maximum of 5 upgrades needed to reach the end of the tree
