The natural way to look at character builds is to decide on equipment first and then pick the skills to use it. And you need to do this with a very limited amount of equipment slots and without bogging your characters down with too much heavy gear, so you will have to compromise at some point.Since most combat skills deal with using a specific type of equipment (or a combination thereof), and equipment slots are usually what limits your options most you can afford to have a 'field setup' and a 'siege setup' for your main character, but carrying and switching secondary equipment for all your companions will quickly get tedious. This is less vital for companions, but the main character will need a ranged weapon, if only to deal with those pesky horse archers you can't catch and enemies stuck in inaccessible places during a siege.While can afford the luxury to specialize on some roles, your characters waste much of their potential if they don't contribute to all of them.

They will face infantry and cavalry on open terrain, fight in mountains to the detriment of cavalry, and get stuck in close quarters combat during.
