When you recruit/upgrade to Rhodok Spearman, these men will be placed in the Infantry group. When you start a new game, you'll find three groups: Infantry, Archers and Cavalry.
This tactic can rule out the effectiveness of melee cavalry charges as the unsuspecting horseman who charges through the first line will be slaughtered by the men behind. Possibly the most recognisable tactic in the ancient world was the phalanx, which can be emulated by a regiment of Rhodok Spearmen. This tactic is especially effective against bandits that do not use formations and just charge, typically without shields as well. Crossbowmen are extremely effective against slowly approaching infantry, and can also pick off cavalry units that are slowed by charging up the hill. Infantry can be placed a few paces in front of the line of archers to block any cavalry and eventually infantry. Once on the battlefield, the first action should always be to station your ranged units on the nearest hill. Rhodoks, with their long spears and deadly crossbows, can create impenetrable defenses, especially in their mountainous homeland. Rhodok Sharpshooters are the best defensive unit in the game (comparable only to the Vaegir Marksman), in both defending castles and towns and from a vantage point on the battlefield. When defending a city or castle, Rhodok Sergeants are invaluable, as their huge shields and ridiculous amount of health means that they are all but invulnerable to enemy archers, while their proficiency at close quarters combat means they can hold their own against anything short of a Nord Huscarl. Order that group to use shields and stand in front of the sharpshooters that can now fight with a bit of cover. Set your Rhodok Sharpshooters, those with the most firepower and accuracy, to archers, and the rest of crossbowmen equipped with shields to a custom group. One way to have both a wall of shields and crossbowmen would be to create groups in the party screen. If you are besieging a town, this may not work as defenders automatically have their ammo replenished every few minutes. To avoid casualties and attempt to drain the enemy's archers, one tactic may be to order the archers to use their shields, creating an impenetrable wall. In addition to these deadly, one-shot crossbows, crossbowmen are equipped with some of the largest shields in the game. This is due to the high damage of the crossbow, which can kill or fatally wound an enemy soldier (40-70 damage, if not a headshot) with one bolt. With their high damage, massive board shields, and mass recruitability, Rhodok Crossbowmen of all types are deadly in sieges. Using the Kingdom of Rhodoks Sieges Īside from their elite infantry unit, the Rhodok Sergeant, Rhodoks rely primarily on their crossbowmen to be successful in sieges.
