Skirmishers can be considered decent enough infantry as well - don't throw them headlong into melee unless you have to, but they can be effective as footmen if they hit the enemy from the flank or rear.

The Fierdsvain are always at a disadvantage facing a large army of archers, but once they get into throwing range they can inflict massive amounts of pain. Most Fierdsvain infantry also utilize throwing weapons as well. The former is considered a glass-cannon whilst the latter has a solid armor and a very resistant shield, offering decent offensive value and excellent defensive one.įierdsvain ranged skirmishers are exotic, as some will have Jarids and others will have crossbows, making them somewhat unreliable at a distance but a nightmare up close.
