Broken Nations

EA Van troops are not that good IMHO. They don't have van soldiers, and their only sacred troops are kindof weak and costly for their stats.

They can deal with triple numbers, easily. In fact, even the non-sacred units might be able to deal with twice or thrice their numbers without many losses. Between Glamour, Shield and mediocre protection, arrows will only rarely effect them.

Whether or not EA Vanheim's sacred units are weaker than those of other Vanir nations is irrelevant, because MA/LA Vanir are EXTREMELY good, and even if the normal Vanir are weaker, they can be VERY good.

Also, for some reason you only seem to regard the nation's sacred units when considering their worth. EA Vanheim against MA Vanheim could turn very nasty, because the latter wouldn't know a thing about the former's armies before battle. Also, while in later ages only the sacred troops can go stealth-raiding, in EA they can use somewhat cheaper Huskarls and Hirdmens for it as well.
