Units
England is a faction with a very strong and well rounded roster, with a definite archery focus. Their main missile units are all Longbowmen, excellent archers with long range, an armour-piericing attack, and the ability to deploy defensive stakes. Their infantry is also very strong as well. Their early choices are a little mediocre, as they lack access to a strong spear unit, but later on they get access to the excellent Armoured Swordsmen and Dismounted English Knights, as well as Billmen. Their cavalry is not the strongest but is pretty good; the unique English Knights they get have an armour piercing secondary attack, which makes them good in melee against other Knights. Thier militia units are fairly standard, and later on they get some Billmen units; with a high attack and low defense. After gunpowder is discovered the English get fairly standard artillery, and have access to Arquebusiers. Overall, the English have an excellent roster is more than a match for most.
