Units for Hire
Bowmen: Archers, crossbowmen. These lightly-armed men are the hunters of Europe's forests, as well as the militiamen of towns and cities. They'll pepper your enemy with wide volleys of inaccurate but deadly projectiles, but they won't charge a line of infantry let alone hold against a charge of cavalry. Cost: 1 Economic Point, 200 per unit
Footmen: Axe and sword-armed infantry. These are typically men born of common backgrounds, born on farms, in villages and towns, and in the rebellious confines of burghs and communes. However, they are not here on crusade as levied peasants, but as soldiers of the cross. Cost: 1 Economic Point, 400 per unit
Spearmen: Spear-armed infantry, these soldiers are like their footmen counterparts, but specialized to stop a cavalry charge. However, they are lighter armed than Footmen. Cost: 2 Economic Points, 200 per unit
Men-at-Arms: Homo Armorum, Scutifer, Armiger, Homme d'Armes, Lance. Mounted on horseback, these men are moderately to well armed, some comparable to true knights. They serve as light cavalry. Their horses are not armored, and so they are greatly faster than knights. If dismounted, they serve as heavy infantry. Cost: 2 Economic Points, 100 per unit
Knights: Miles. Chevalier. The mounted warrior caste of nobility, these are the prime of any Christian host. They serve as heavy cavalry. Their horses are armored, and so they are slower than men-at-arms. If dismounted, they serve as elite infantry. Cost: 3 Economic Points, 100 per unit
Armed Pilgrims: These armed zealots come to the holy lands shortly after the success of the Crusades. They are enthralled by preachers back in Europe and come to the Levant seeking riches and to fulfill their zealous duty to God and Christendom. These pilgrims come in typical sack cloth, bearing pitchforks, knives, staves and wooden clubs. Available for Clergy, once landed, by default or Church required! Cost: 0 Economic Points, 600 per unit
European Mercenaries: Soldiers of fortune and swords for hire, they come for gold and riches, caring not for religion nor status. They seek only to advance their pockets and purses. Tavern required! Come as either a company of Bowmen, Footmen or Spearmen. Cost: 2 Economic Points, 200 per unit.
