==Tactics==
Noble Houses have dedicated frontline, polearms and ranged units. [[Standard Bearer|Standard Bearers]] help to maintain high [[morale]] among soldiers. Elite units try to make a breakthrough where they are fighting. Some squads use [[Wardog|Wardogs]], which usually pointlessly die at the beginning of a fight.
The weakness of Noble squads is their suboptimal use of the [[Battle Forged]] perk. Medium armor is too light to work well with it, and [[Billman|Billmen]] wear even lighter armor like [[Gambeson|Gambesons]] and [[Aketon Cap|Aketon Caps]], becoming very vulnerable for those who can attack them.
==Description==
Professional soldiers working on the payroll of one of the three Northern noble houses. Their patrols are a common sight and they protect supply caravans and the more well fortified towns and castles. Can be encountered through the Noble War, Holy War or by just being hostile to one of the houses through one of several ways.
