If you were able to travel back into the RTW period, which faction would you join, and what type of soldier would you be? Or would just be a peasant and live a safe life?

-edit- Ok let me rephrase this question... Lets say you are drafted back in time, which army would you join and what type of soldier would you be?

peasent live a safe life?

if the lord ain't knocking up your misses on her wedding night, you might get conscripted or have to 'volunteer' the manual labor for his castle or die from any old disease since medicine is way too expensive for the likes of you, who knows you might reach the ripe old age of thirty.

i know what you meant with the question though, so i'd chose the life of a eunuch in one of those eastern courts. bribe my way through the medical procedure, and live the idyllic life in the harem. nobody kills the eunuchs. peasants die of starvation and warriors die of combat and lords die of assassination, but nobody kills the eunuchs.

What's an eunuchs?

[drone]

A eunuch is a castrated male. They were used to guard harems and similiar collections of females, as they could be trusted not to be tempted. Unless, of course, they bribed their way through the medical procedure....

Ouch! You better hope ou can bribe your way or else

[Somebody Else]

Eunuchs - very worrying things. They weren't exempt from being killed either. They had a habit of trying to be the power behind the throne, usually succeeded too - they could be single-minded about it at least.

I'd prolly go with Sacred Band cavalry, if they'd let in a female of course. Otherwise I guess I'd have to go with Head Hunting Maidens, due to recruiting restrictions.
