I played around a little with Vaettiheim and they potentially seem super strong. A whole drat nation of size 1 easily massable troops except some of them are actually good. Size 1 berserkers. Size 1 sacreds with cold aura and magic weapons. You can literally clear out heavy cav provinces with like five casualties on your side by just tarpitting the fuckers and waiting for them to fatigue out from the cold while you bite at their ankles.

Also your mages can communion and you get D, S, N and B access. So unless everybody else gets the evocations up and running real fast these dudes seem like they'd be horrible to fight in the early to midgame.

E: And oh yeah, literally everything you have is also stealthy for all your Elfing needs. Also you get research chaff that can be recruited from any forest, and 40% of them will have either S or B for your communion needs.

I played around a bit more, and if you can get some defensive buffs on either of the basic Vaetti spear infantry you've got a hilariously effective tarpit unit. Cheap as gently caress, Size 1 Prot 8 or 13, depending on which it is, Defense 12 MR 12 and they have shields and helmets.

And yeah, the cap mages seem workhorsey enough to me. D1N1B1 and 2.1WSDNB ain't bad for late age, and they can all lead communions backed by your infinite horde of Vaetti hags.

The little berserker guys will flat out murder poo poo. 21 damage x 6 attacks per square w/ good combat values. If you berserk them it's another +2

Cast Quickness on those little bastards and it's like a loving blender.

an ancient spirit of Being A Gun should have slightly better precision than a hastily-levied human militiaman, imo

To be fair, it is a Glock.
