I foresee a helmet in the future anyway. Let it be.

After playing peasant on normal, I have this sage advice: Save up 50,000 denar and hire Marnid.

Alright, looks like we'll go with the default female face, then!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Now, where will we start?

For those of you who haven't played Mount & Blade, here are descriptions of the nations:

The Swadians are the chivalrous knights of Calradia, focusing on heavy troops. They have some really nice melee cavalry. They live in a hilly, grassy area.

The Vaegirs have somewhat similar troops to Swadia, but with fewer heavy troops and much better archers. They live in the snowy east.

The Khergit Khanate are the Mongols of Calradia, with very good horse archers and good heavy cavalry, however they have an almost complete lack of infantry. They live in the steppe of the south.

The Nords are, well, Nords. They are possibly the dwarfiest of the nations, with very good heavy infantry and archers that can defend themselves in melee combat, but an absolute lack of cavalry. They live on the coast of the northeast.

The Rhodoks are a nation formed by Swadian rebels, although the two nations acknowledge each other as regular nations now, and are usually at peace. They have excellent spearmen and crossbowmen, but don't have good cavalry and do not excel in offensive endeavors. They live in the mountains of the northwest.

The Sarranid Sultanate are similar to the Khergits in that they have very good archers, but with good heavy melee cavalry as well. However, they do not have good infantry, and unlike Nordic archers, their ranged units are not good at defending themselves up close. They live in the deserts of the southwest.

Choose wisely!

Rhodok sounds good for a peasant revolutionary like us. Re-absorb Swadia under our banner!

I agree.  I've had a lot of luck conquering Rhodok in my game, mostly using masses of Rhodok's ranged troops in sieges.  You know, like in native, lol.

The big difference is that you can recruit troops with some skill in this mod, so no need to train everything up from scratch.

Keep in mind that just about every nation in Calradia is a combination of a monarchy, an aristocracy and a plutocracy. None of them are real freedom fighters.

I prefer Nords or Rhodoks, but Sarranids will work if you want a greater challenge.

I'd even allow you to do Sarranids on 1/2 allied damage if you so choose.

If you really want a challenge, Sarranid foot soldiers, Rhodok cav, Swadian crossbowmen.
