Details
Polish Nobles are the rough Polish counterpart to the heavy cavalry of other European factions, but these men have unique distinctions. The most noticeable difference for Polish Nobles is that they soldiers can throw several javelins at their opponents, but they are still useful for prolonged melee against most other troops. This gives the armies of Poland additional flexibility with their deployment of cavalry. Since Polish Nobles can be recruited from the stables of castles as well as the castles themselves, a lot more of Polish Nobles can recruited in a shorter amount of time.
