>>37932>Two elite Sturian and Khuzai troops, completely different cultures living in completely different environments, and they are basically pallet swaps.Sturgians are slavs and Kuzhaits are Mongols, so their similarities are pretty logical actually given the extensive interaction between those two cultures.
>>37949>In Bannerlord, every is all-rounder, everybody has everything. Not really. Batanians have shit cavalry, Vlandians and Sturgians have shit ranged, Kuzhaits have shit infantry, etc. The only real all-round faction is the Empire. Not only that but the structure of the troop trees tend to force different factions to focus on different types, e.g. if you want Batanian cavalry you have to raise them to tier 5, whereas other factions can get them as low as tier 2 or 3. This also makes a difference in terms of AI army composition, since factions with more easily accessible troop types in their trees will have more of that type. I find myself riding around and gathering recruits from specific cultures based on their strengths, like when doing an independent kingdom run I would always take some time to ride over to Batania to scoop up as many Fians as possible since they’re so much better than all other archers.
