In times of war peasants are forced from their farms and drafted into levies. Good cannon fodder.

Overview

Life at the bottom rung of medieval society is not easy or healthy. In times of war peasants are forced from their farms and drafted into levies, and if they are lucky, given some kind of simple weapon to fight with. Unsurprisingly, peasants are undisciplined troops who are better at fleeing than they are fighting.

A extremely weak unit, they will lose to everything except other peasants... keep them away during battles unless for cannon fodder.

Details

Peasants are available for every faction, but they are quick to flee and won't fight a superior unit for long. Boosting nothing but sheer numbers this is one of the worst units in the game, but as they are available right at the start of a campaign and are cheap to build they make good units to help public order.
