This can both be an advantage and a disadvantage.
The cavalry is lighter and faster, but weaker than Swadian cavalry. Their focus on two handed weaponry makes them highly susceptible to arrows but they handle themselves decently in melee with their added poking range. The Vaegirs field some of the best archers in the game, while having lackluster infantry.Curaw is one of the best places to buy cheap iron and tools and can usually be sold close by in the Nordic towns.Raw silk can be bought in some towns for large profits in most other regions. They also sport powerful two-handed axes. The Nord Veteran Archers may not be the best archers you can get, but put a line of Huscarls in front of them and they will take out armies three times their size.
They also sport throwing weapons, but those are inaccurate despite the Huscarl's high throwing skill.
