So most of the builds for combat companions say that the warbow and horse archery is the way to go with them along with an armored horse, but i cant seem to ever get enough skill points to have all of these things and decent ironflesh and powerstrike on my companions.

Do you focus on ranged prowess first and then the melee strength? How many points into intelligence? This time around i only gave them siege crossbows and were dominantly foot soldiers, only me and a handful of swadian knights are mounted

My next playthrough i want to do a speedrun to 1000 renown and just run around rescuing lords and consuming butter all game, probably wont recruit many soldiers so im just trying to figure out the best way to level these fools.

Edited for grammar
