Bhumiya Levy (ETW Unit)
A mob, armed with whatever they have been able to steal.
Overview
These people are hardly even peasants, as they do not have any land to work. But they can still be pushed into taking up arms, a desperate action for such folk. At best, they will be armed with agricultural tools (these can still kill in angry hands) and whatever they have managed to loot.
They are of dubious military worth.
Details
Bhumiya Levy are a mob unit available only to the Eastern Factions. As a unit they are completely unremarkable and should not be relied upon to defeat enemy troops singlehandedly . However en masse they can prove to be a somewha useful force as they are highly expendable. Bhumiya Levy will become available during a siege of a settlement, and the number of them will result from the public happiness of the population. Faction capitals tend to have a large number of Mob units.
