Here is your comprehensive ranking of all the battle cards in Noblemen 1896. There are just so many, it can be difficult to decide which ones to focus on, when it comes to upgrading or buying them in the warshop for your hard earned silver and gold. I have divided the cards into their respective types, Enhance and Attack. I have excluded the Build category for there are only four cards, and very clearly ascend in quality. Practicality, cost, consequence and upgrade quality have been factored in to create this list.
Enhance cards
Noblemen 1896 offers 36 enhance cards. I have excluded the ‘Capture’ card as that is the default and constant card you will always have access to. Enhance cards have saved my skin on numerous occasions, from springing a free army out of nowhere, to healing my units after a tough battle to have a strong and successful counter attack.
