Veteran

Veterans are mercenary infantry in Viking Conquest.

Tactics[]

During mid game, if you go often into towns (which is good practice) you will notice that, in a short while, your roster will contain many of them. Note that, being mercenaries, they will cost more than their actual worth compared to actual faction troops. However, since you will use them mostly during late game for critical fights against lords or in sieges, money will be less of a concern since you will look to field as many high quality troops as you can get.

Stats and Equipment[]

Note: Troops have a set of default stats; at the beginning of a new game, these stats are randomly adjusted for each type of troop. The following is the default set for this troop as seen within the game code and may not reflect the specific stats you will see during actual gameplay. For more information, see troop stats.
