Salary: 10 gold per seasonĪhhh, the lone unit that was removed for sequel.

They form the meat of my frontline for much of the game.Īnother upside is that if you produce many swords, those can be used later for knights (knights require 1 unit of swords and 1 unit of armor). Unlike in Lords 2 (where they lose to every other unit but peasants), they are actually very competent. Decent defense, weak attack.ĭecent substitute for swordsmen if you have TONS of archers and just want some tough units for tanking but want to save on upkeep cost. Unlike in Lords 2, they move the same speed as the same units. So why hire them at all? VERY cheap salary of 2 gold per season- so great garrison troop Decent attack, weak defense.Ĭannot defeat swordsmen, unlike in Lords 2.

Same as Lords 2: very weak, but very cheap salary: 1 gold per season I have no hard data on statistics.īiggest difference is that all weapon types cost exactly the same: around 1000 gold, and 1 Iron unit to produce Yes, I have played both games many, many times.
