Instead you will become the Marshall and the claimant will become the new faction leader. However, this will not make you king/queen of the new kingdom. This way works exactly the same as it does in Warband. When you have become a rebel for a faction it is a good idea to find the claimant for that faction and proceed to persuade the lords of the original faction to join yours instead. This will result in your new faction becoming a rebel faction for that faction. When this happens you can choose to renounce your current oath and leave your faction. One way is to become a member of an already existing faction and capturing a castle or a town which you will not be granted by the faction leader. There are several ways to start a kingdom for yourself and they are similar to the ones in Mount&Blade: Warband, although you will not be able to name your own kingdom. The light Kapikulu archer and the inaccurate-but-armored Seymen are the only native infantry the Crimean Khanate fields, but it has access to elite infantry on loan from the Ottoman Empire (modern Turkey) including Janissaries (elite musketeers), and Azaps (elite light infantry). The Crimean Khanate may be forced to betray the Cossack Hetmanate and take its lightning fast army of mounted bowmen elsewhere.Ĭrimean cavalry cost less to maintain than any other nation's, and the Khanate boasts a large assortment of cavalry, ranging from the numerous Bajrak, mounted archer Jasaqs to the heavily armored Asak-bey, Circassian, and the powerful Nokhor. This faction most closely resembles the Kingdom of Vaegirs in the previous Mount&Blade games.Ī kingdom caught between shifting alliances, the Khanate has been shielded from both the Tsardom of Moscow and the Polish Republic, but soon may find itself vulnerable and desperate. All Russian marksmen (Save for the Posad Marksman) deploy the two-handed poleaxe, a heavy weapon with a bonus against shields, giving even marksmen a fair chance against enemy infantry, while Moscow spearmen use a medium between the pike and the sword. Russia boasts a large assortment of troops, reflected in the large assortment of marksmen (Muscovite marksmen include the simple Marksmen, the militia Posad Marksmen, and the elite New Order Marksmen), though it boasts quite good cavalry such as the Noble Guard. The Muscovite Tsardom is truly a force to be reckoned with as it has a vast army of well equipped troops. While it possesses a rich army, it is fragile, which could ultimately lead to the Polish Commonwealth's demise.īorn again in this new age of fire and sword, Russia sees itself under a powerful dynasty of Tsars bent on reclaiming land lost to the Polish Republic. Dominated by its Winged Hussars (the heaviest cavalry in the game) and supported by competent but unexceptional infantry in the form of Zolniers and Pikemen, the Polish Commonwealth best resembles the Kingdom of Swadia in troop composition. The Polish Commonwealth, also known as the Polish-Lithuanian Republic, is famed for its majestic Winged Cavalry. Together the Cossack Hetmanate and Tsardom of Moscow march on the Polish Republic.
Cossack leader Hetman Bogdan Hmelnitski is forced to seek help from Russia in order to combat the Polish threat. The Cossacks fight against Poland for their freedom. With few armored units to speak of, the Hetmanate relies on an army of accurate musketeers, light insurgents and light Djura cavalry. The Cossack Hetmanate is a Ukrainian state comprising wild-spirited independent fighters led by Hetman Bogdan Hmelnitski.
In comparison with its peers, Sweden's emphasis on gunpowder weaponry makes it one of the more original factions of With Fire & Sword. Sweden's army resembles contemporary Western European armies, with many gunpowder units such as the Swedish Reiter and the Lifeguard. Wealthy and powerful, the Kingdom of Sweden patiently waits to conquer the losing side of the Russian Polish conflict with an army of dreaded dragoons and musketeers. Join the fight for freedom, domination, or riches as five nations battle for control over their destinies. With Fire & Sword is set in the war-torn lands of 17th Century Eastern Europe. The outlaw sought refuge in the wild steppes, the shepherd completely armed, guarded his flocks, the knight- errant sought adventures, robbers sought plunder, the Cossack sought the Tatar, and the Tatar sought the Cossack." - from the novel With Fire and Sword. "In the long grass man hunted man, like wolves or antelopes.
