Noble troop tree

The Ausburgian are a noble subculture of Vlandia. Repelled by the standard vlandian use of horses and spears, these warriors prefer to fight with the help of swords with oversized blades (>120 lenght).

• Ausburgian Adliger (id ausburgian_noble)

The Adliger, as a proud noble from Ausburgia, is duty-bound to fight like his ancestors. Ditching the horse, he wields an one handed longsword and a shield.

With enough experience on the field, he can choose to remain an sword/shield soldier or do make his ancestors proud and fight like a true Ausburgian : with their two handed swords.

• Ausburgian Doppelhänder (id ausburgian_zweihander)

Focusing entirely on two handed swords, their swords, the Doppelhänder possess little value for his life be makes up for it in fighting with rigor and honor.

• Ausburgian Zweihandmeister (id ausburgian_zweihandmeister)

A better two handed sword and armor. This noble is making his way into knighthood.

• Ausburgian Ritter (id vlandian_teutonic_knight)

The true Ausburgian knight. The Ritter wield a deadly two handed long sword, and possess the heavier and best armor in the game. But this comes with a price : with 70 of encumbrance, and an atheletics skill of 80, these knights are very slow.
