Battanian Highborn Warriors are tier-three noble archers of Battania.

Tactics[]

They have skills equal to tier-four archers from the other factions, making them reasonably effective archers, yet Battanian Highborn Warriors have passable performance by most standards - further upgrades are needed to make them proper masters of the bow, Battanian Fian Champions. Their armor is similarly passable yet outclassed by tier-fives from other factions, such as Imperial Palatine Guards - it, however, speaks to the Battanians' skill with the bow that their tier-three archer option comes close to equaling the best of other factions.

Like Battanian Highborn Youths before them, the best thing you can do with Highborn Warriors is upgrade them. Make them fight against weak parties of looters and similar troops for this purpose. If you need to commit them to a proper battle, they will do okay but will be easily outclassed by their higher-level brethren.

As with all noble troops, attempting to recruit a significant number of Battanian Highborn Warriors is time-consuming, expensive, and impractical if done mid-campaign, so try to train all your various Battanian noble troops in bulk to improve them quickly, using the downtime between campaigns to train them properly before unleashing them upon your foes.
