Slightly altered the conversion balance in favor of christians. Basically, they are nations of norse warriors + conquered levies, vs the Norse list, which draws more broadly from Norse society. This represents their nature as factions that would have a smaller population of norse, but those would in turn be more likely to be warriors, than the native Norse nations. b) The Northymbrians and Frisians get the Elite Norse list for their medium and high recruitment levels, but have a mix of angles or frisians at their basic recruitment level (which is called more often than the others). Should improve their shield walls while retaining the historical feeling of levied armies. Those spearmen are now the dominant part of their armies. a) Christian factions recruit 50% or less the peasants they previously did, and replace these with spearmen (third tier, the first one after branching off with swordsmen).

All AI lord recruiting templates given upgrades, but less powerful than the Norse. Let's make them feared, as they were at the time. Few basic recruits, more swordsmen, but still keeping an eye on financial pressures. Norse recruiting templates made generally more elite than other cultures. It will take awhile for current saved games to adjust to this, as the lords need time to recruit under the new templates as they lose and hire troops. The historical feeling of mixed peasant armies is still present, but with the greater number of tier II and III the ai lords will pose a much better chance of challanging players and their more elite armies.

Elites remain rare, but competent fighters for the npc lord shieldwall are now the general rule, with a few skirmisher peasants in much lower numbers. We don't have to have an army of elites for NPC lords, but we can and should shift their recruiting to better resemble what the player gets-Much less Tier I, more Tier II and III units. The problem is the player doesn't generally do that. Vanilla VC captured the historical feeling of levied armies by having NPC lords walk around with tons of tier I peasants. Improved reinforcement templates for NPC Lords.
