Features
Complete overhaul of sturgian troop equipment
A lot more variants of recruits and warriors (usage of most of the available norse light body armors)
Most troop types have some variants, e.g. soldier uses two different roughly equivalent body armors
More consistent equipment upgrades for different troop lines
Main focus was strenghtening the sturgian spearman by changing its equipment and minor upgrade on polearm skill (120) and strengthening the sturgian melee infantry in general. IMO that should be the focus and strength of sturgian troops
Rebalanced sturigian head armors according to their looks, e.g. mail variant has more armor than leather variant
Weight reduction of sturgian lamellar shoulder armor, e.g. from 5 to 3 kg, because it seemed to heavy compared to similar armors
