Town Militia (M2TW Unit)

Overview

These men are commoners and peasants who have been levied into local militias to defend towns, roads and bolster armies. Given some training and equipped with a short spear and shield, though little armour, these units are useful in defense, but cannot be expected to endure for long on an open battlefield.

Detail

The Town Militia is most basic of the melee militias. All of the factions, with the notable exception of the Aztecs, that have no militia equivalent, the Russians, that go straight for the Archer Militia and the italian factions (Milan, Venice, Papal States, Sicily) that have a superior militia equivalent, have access to this unit. There are some differences aesthetically between the cultural groups but the primary stats (attack, defense, morale) are all the same.
