I never liked how after the initial 20 turns or so, I had no further use of the Swordsmen as they were beaten by other mid tier units. But then until I get to the greatsword, there isn't a viable alternative.

This mod aims to do just that by introducing a mid tier swordsmen for your front line, so you do not have to worry that your front line will crumble before you can pull your hammer and anvil tactic.

So a decent army composition I pictured with my mod is having the Elite Swordsmen in the center holding against the infantry charge, with halbirdiers on the sides countering enemy flankers and supporting friendly cavalry, and the greatswords being the shock troops they are supposed to be, flanking around and hitting the engaged enemy from the sides.

In terms of balance, against a fight with Empire Swordsmen, the Elites came out on top but suffered meaningful losses. But I am also willing to adjust it based on feedback so let me know.
