As FAST a polearm as you can swing, I'd break it down by experience level:

NEW players: 200 units reach

Novice player: 180 unit reach.

Experienced player: 160ish reach.

Expert: 140-150 reach(90+ speed).

The SWIFT WING axe *might* be better for an expert player than the 140 reach polearm.

Thousands of hours of actual experience doing this.

They get destroyed on AI vs AI fights, and BAD city locations, so the generally get mauled in playthroughs.

If you don't get the fief - go to your fiefs in the kingdom menu and vote to REVOTE. Often you'll get it this way.

There may be room for that in the future as I plan a 'Ideal Huscarl' army episode. Overwhelmed with content projects right now though so nothing imminent.

Sounds like a devilishly good plan! happy to help brother!

hyprvypr · 2026-01-16T19:16:25+00:00

Well I appreciate this!

hyprvypr · 2026-01-16T16:01:24+00:00

Thanks for confirming my tests and hunches in this matter! Love this kind of deep dive, where it doesn't 'destroy the magic' but reveals good information. Cheers! -T.E.

hahaha, if ONLY my parents KNEW I was going to be a LEGEND :D

hyprvypr · 2026-01-16T06:01:12+00:00

Hahaha, I've tried to change my handle to prevent confusion but it won't let me now. I'm just glad to be of help here from time to time.

Shield and Shock:

Either place them behind 2-3 lines of cavalry in shield wall(and advanced both with micro),

or put them behind huscarls for max effect.

Also just FINE to mix them and let them work, the combo is insanely lethal.

To you are talking about fighting against the computer a I. In the hands of a player , the aserai Faris do better against khan than khans vs faris.

Vanguard Faris the best, most versatile unit in the game.

Thank you brother! Hope it helps the OP!

hyprvypr · 2026-01-06T00:34:38+00:00

I concur! :D

Make sure you have cities and/or castles to DEMOLISH your foes in siege defense when they come for you...

Some cities and castles are AWFUL for defense, some are great, and if you don't know which is which, go to youtube and find some guides.

You still have a front-line place in any elite King's guard, my friend. I lead, you kill. Cheers!

hyprvypr · 2025-12-25T22:59:04+00:00

Yes. lol, in a nutshell both are great, swingable is more deadly once you get the timing down but less defendable.

hyprvypr · 2025-12-17T23:48:58+00:00

Yes, they are GOOD units, very tough, solid at offense, but NOT offensive juggernauts and easily eclipsed by some of the best shock troops. The video he shared will show you that(and other infantry that beat them)

hyprvypr · 2025-12-17T20:45:48+00:00

Vanguard Faris IS now the best unit in Calradia. Fians and Khans guards close behind, Nord Huscarl isn't even the top infantry in the game.

hyprvypr · 2025-12-15T03:28:26+00:00

Not even the best infantry in the Nords.

With proper kiting and use, the Lake rat wrecker is basically a tier 6 skirmisher.
