Vanilla Viking Conquest made AI Lords recruit from terrible troop rosters. If enemy lord armies overwhelmingly consist of peasants, where is the challenge? If half the enemy force is just bouncing sling rocks off your army from the skirmisher line, where are the massive shieldwall clashes?
Balance Mod gives the AI Lords more elite rosters, allowing them to serve as satisfying opponents for the player. The army pictured is more elite than usual though, both because this AI lord has been training up his force, and because Balance Mod makes the Norse armies especially elite--rendering them the feared conquering force that they were in this period.
