Lithuania are a playable faction in the Teutonic Campaign in the Kingdoms expansion for Medieval II: Total War.
Starting Position
The Lithuanians start with much land, however they start out hostile to the Teutonic order and are somewhat surrounded.
Units
Lithuania have access to some good skirmishing troops such as javelinmen and mounted javelins. These are important units to use when fighting against the heavy units of some of the neighbouring factions such as those of the Teutonic Order. The Lithuanians also have skillful archers and mounted archers- another factor in defeating the strong Knights of the Teutonic Order. Although Lithuania have powerful and zealous light infantry and cavalry, most of their units tend to be lacking in defence, so the Lithuanians must rely on good ambushing tactics to be victorious.
Strategy
You must quickly capture some of the nearby rebel villages in order to secure more land from the Mongols and Novgorod before they take them. Meanwhile you should drive some units towards some of the nearby Teutonic order settlements. Use a combination of ambushing and skirmishing tactics in battles and rely on the powerful offensive charges of the Lithuanian units in order to break enemy lines.
