Overview

Armoured Swordsmen represent those of the knightly class with a desire to fight on foot, or too poor to afford a horse. Able to afford excellent armour and swords, they can punish most other infantry. These units along with archers form the backbone of many English armies.

Details

Armoured Swordsmen are England’s first infantry with high defense. They are elite infantry that can seriously harm anything in reach. Overall, Armoured Swordsmen can be thought of as a less expensive version of some Catholic factions’ Dismounted Feudal Knights. These soldiers are recruited at a castle barracks, which means they only appear in significant numbers towards the middle-game opposed to more early on.
