The requested tiering with Linke went like this.
1. Low (Shield only)
2. Levy (Helmet and Shield)
3. Regulars (Armor. Helmet and Shield)
4. Elites (All Above + Capes. Specific unit to each faction.)
To pick your brain. What are your thoughts on unique units to add flavor and accentuate a specific strength like Medieval 2. (Some of these cards already exist)
England - Huscarls (2H Armored Axemen)
Normandy - Knights (Heavy Horse Spear)
Norway - Vikings (An extra powerful Axe+Shield Unit. Possibly Aquatic?)
Spain - Jinete (Light Horse. Javelin and Sword)
France - Armored Crossbowmen
Moors - Mounted Archers (Light Cav) with a spear backup. But no Heavy Cav.
Welsh - Super Skirmishers
Germany ... (?Paladins? Heavy Sword Cav.)
Slavs - Armored Horse Archers
