Can someone tell me if I am supposed to be able to recruit them at all?

**anubis88** · 04-29-2010, 22:42

nope. They spawn when a settlment rebels

No, they are just rabble. IIRC they were introduced to prevent rebellion CTD's.

They are bad units with low lethality and enormous upkeep for such a bad unit to discourage the player from keeping them around when he happens to get some of them through a settlement that rebels to his faction. This last event is the only way to get them.

If you get some, disband them ASAP. They're useless.

They don't even make good fodder units, as they have no shields and a high upkeep.

Only reason to keep them is if you can't recruit any other unit in a town that has rebelled to you but you need to maintain order.

yes they do: they're great pin-cushions for when seiging the enemy

I second that! they are excellent missle fodder and suicidal distractions in siege battles! u can use them to push rams against the gates, w/o worrying about the boiling oil!
