Troop Tree
The Westerlands is a very well balanced kingdom. Because of their riches they are able to afford heavy plated armor for just about all of their troops, even archers. The Westerlands fields heavy schock cavalry, powerful crossbowmen, and heavy footmen. Westerland troops are best used with the crossbowmen elevated on a hill and a line of infantry protecting them. You should have your cavalry close to the side of your infantry. When the enemy troops advance their cavalry towards you charge your own horseman at them to the side and charge your infantry straight towards them.
