Meet the Wayward Sons, a band of rebellious, independent archers who walk their own path. Born in the forests of Battania, these skilled marksmen are nearly on par with the noble Fian Champions, but their story doesn’t stop there. They wandered to Vlandia, selling their bow skills for gold and honing their abilities to perfection. Now, with the Calradian civil war ravaging their homeland, they’ve returned—better equipped, more dangerous, and ready to tip the scales of war.
Will you stand with these master archers and help them defend Battania, or face their deadly arrows as a foe? With a troop tree focused entirely on archery and long-range combat, the Wayward Sons offer a fresh challenge for both allies and enemies alike. Whether you're seeking new allies or formidable adversaries, the Wayward Sons bring a new dynamic to the battlefields of Calradia.
Expect fierce long-range warfare, tactical superiority, and a new level of combat excellence. The Wayward Sons bring advanced archery tactics, unique tiered troop progression, and the choice to fight for or against them. Will you hire their deadly arrows or face them on the battlefield?
What to expect:
- A fully-fledged archery-only mercenary clan.
- Unique, advanced archer troops rivaling the famed Fian Champions.
- Rich backstory and lore that make the Wayward Sons a force to be reckoned with.
- Align with or battle against these elite archers as they make their mark in the Calradian civil war.
Background: The Wayward Sons are a Battanian-born clan who sought new opportunities in Vlandia. There, they adapted to the challenges by training their archers in the use of heavy Vlandian armor, pushing their bodies to become swift and agile even under the weight of steel. This rigorous training gave them unmatched athleticism, surpassing even the famed Fian Champions of Battania. Now, these warriors return to their homeland, bringing with them a unique blend of Vlandian fortitude and Battanian archery expertise.How to recruit them: When the Wayward Sons owned a fief, there will be a chance that the troops there will be troops of Wayward Sons clan so find a settlement owned by the clan or just give them a settlement!
I tested it on a heavy modded list and so far so good. It has ATC.modconfig.xml file for you to tweak their troops recruitment percentage.
- You can sometimes encounter their Mercenary Troops that are wandering through Battania's Villages and Recruit them!
