About hakkapeliitta:

I'd like to give them fay horses of the vanir, and either light lance or lance to benefit from the high ap (26). This way, the initial charge causes tremendous damage, just like the pistol charge did for the hakkapeliitta. At the moment, I'm thinking of
- elite stats (11 hp/str/att, 12 def +3 mounted, 14 mor), move 3/26 of vanir
- broadsword/lance/hoof for att 11/12/11
- reinf. leather cap, scale cuirass, shield for def 14, 18 with parry; and prot 10/8 for body/head
- gcost 40, res cost 15, forest survival
In my tests, this does respectively well.

About the basic infantry:
What if the infantry had weapon, shield AND a short bow? Similar to LA Man's Tower Guards and their crossbows, or EA Ulm warrior maidens. They won't have tower guards' heavy armor, so they'll probably be way inferior... but they'll be stealthy, giving the nation very good stealthy force. stealthy med infantry with shield, AND affordable archers - that's very good.
