Best Troops
Ranged siege is the name of the game with him and all there is actually in terms of troops types
Best Commander Pairing for Stephen III
Babur as one of the more universal pairings here makes perfectly sense (See full build here).
Gonzalo de Cordoba is practically an amazing pair but you will very likely if you’re here to read more about ranged siege pairings, already paired with Gajah Mada and that is a pairing I wouldn’t really rip apart (See full build here).
Gajah Mada works as well as pairing, but again for the same reason as Gonzalo why do take that great pairing apart… (See full build here).
