    Default Billmen

    What social class are Bill men??
    There is sergeants,knights peasants,and levy spear men im guessing are peasants,Gentry are "Like" knights according to the info card in game.

    But what are bill-men peasants?

    And how many units of Bill-men do you people use in your ideal full army?

    In what years?Example you may use more bill-men in the 13th century than the 14th. Im curious of these answers.

    And is your composition of your army with Bill-men based on any historical relevance?

    If so what source?

    Since they are divided on 4 diffrent units, it would be varied answer to the first question. Since it's a farming tool, they I would presume it's from peasants levys.

    ~Wille
    Thorolf was thus armed. Then Thorolf became so furious that he cast his shield on his back, and, grasping his halberd with both hands, bounded forward dealing cut and thrust on either side. Men sprang away from him both ways, but he slew many. Thus he cleared the way forward to earl Hring's standard, and then nothing could stop him. He slew the man who bore the earl's standard, and cut down the standard-pole. After that he lunged with his halberd at the earl's breast, driving it right through mail and body, so that it came out at the shoulders; and he lifted him up on the halberd over his head, and planted the butt-end in the ground. There on the weapon the earl breathed out his life in sight of all, both friends and foes. [...] 53, Egil's Saga
    I must tell you here of some amusing tricks the Comte d'Eu played on us. I had made a sort of house for myself in which my knights and I used to eat, sitting so as to get the light from the door, which, as it happened, faced the Comte d'Eu's quarters. The count, who was a very ingenious fellow, had rigged up a miniature ballistic machine with which he could throw stones into my tent. He would watch us as we were having our meal, adjust his machine to suit the length of our table, and then let fly at us, breaking our pots and glasses.
