The hillmen are a wild, savage people but they are skilled hunters, making them superb ambushers.
Overview
To outsiders, the hillmen are a wild savage people, but they are also skilled hunters, making them superb ambushers. Although only armed with spears and shields, they are a valuable addition to many forces. Their skills at reading ground allow them to hide where others cannot, and this makes them valuable to commanders with a penchant for tactical ambushes.They are expert raiders and thieves (often taking sheep and goats from their lowland neighbours) and this is, unfortunately, something that makes them occasionally difficult to control. They do not see any need for military formalities!
Details
Compared to their main competition, Eastern Infantry, Hillmen have much more nerve as they have higher morale and are impetuous, so they tend to stay in a losing battle for quite a while compared to the easily routed Eastern Infantry. Their attack is also higher, so they can kill enemies faster before their low defense comes into play. Hillmen have some of the lowest defence in RTW so they are best used alongside other tougher troops so they aren't focused on a and wiped out. They also have small shields instead of the large shields Eastern Infantry possess, so missiles will kill them faster. Lastly Hillmen are even cheaper than Eastern Infantry and make a decent garrison.
