The Rhodoks are an unusual faction; | The Rhodoks are an unusual faction; like the [[Mount&Blade/Nords|Nords]] the Rhodoks have no cavalry, only infantry and crossbowmen. Their spearmen have a combat advantage against cavalry but are only moderately useful against other infantry. Their crossbowmen are one of the best lines of ranged attackers in the game. | ||

Rhodok infantry specialize in using the spear and are better with it than anyone else who uses it. This is initially a tradeoff as they are better used against cavalry than unmounted troops, but they become more adaptable with upgrades, and the Rhodok Sergeant is second only to the [[Mount&Blade/Nords|Nords]] as the best infantry overall. Rhodok infantry are extremely tough, with high HP from their [[Mount&Blade/Skills#Ironflesh|Ironflesh]] skill and large shields for strong defense. They are excellent at standing against enemy attacks. | Rhodok infantry specialize in using the spear and are better with it than anyone else who uses it.

The Rhodok Sharpshooter is the best crossbowman in the game. Their good accuracy and high damage against even heavily armored targets (from using the best crossbow and best bolts available) make them extremely effective in picking off enemies during castle sieges. They are also unusually effective in defending themselves in melee, and carry a shield and have high health despite being a ranged unit.

They are also unusually effective in defending themselves in melee, and carry a shield and have high health despite being a ranged unit. However, they are slow, and their use of a crossbow doesn't help that. While still very effective in open battle, sieges play to their strengths more. | ||
