    Default Missing peasant description

    well since all the series have always had peasant class units and directly referred to as peasants minus STW, what descripton is most needed for these units

    Mine would be arrow depletion specialists

    and yours?

    and who had personally wet himself at the Battle of Badon Hill.

    Garrison chuckers.
    Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    It is the unit you're looking for when you want a chain rout to happen!
    "Cry, the beloved country, for the unborn child that is the inheritor of our fear. Let him not love the earth too deeply. Let him not laugh too gladly when the water runs through his fingers, nor stand too silent when the setting sun makes red the veld with fire. Let him not be moved when the birds of his land are singing, nor give too much of his heart to a mountain or a valley. For fear will rob him of all if he gives too much."

    Cry, the Beloved Country by Alan Paton.

    Thumbs up Re: Missing peasant description

    I think the attributes "Good at hiding in cities" and "Inspires nearby troops to rout" would be good.

    Population size and squalor reducer (in RTW they're good to recruit and sacrifice in battle or move to and disband in another city to keep squalor problems and too fast population growth away).

    No difference to me because I intend to disable the recruitment of peasants. While they make a convenient garrison it is just so goddamn annoying seeing them constantly pop up in enemies armies. For the love of god train some better troops!

    I hope MTW2 skips peasant units and use more authentic rebel and militia units. And that rebels get stronger, but don't pop us quite as often and make the rebellions depend a bit more on behavior of the ruler. Brigands could be removed IMO.

    I actually found peasants to be very useful in Rome, if the population grew too high for the settlements development level, I would recruit thousands of these peasants, and send them off to get slaughtered. Cruel, but useful

    All i hope they do is at least give these peasants a weapon. I hated the fact that in RTW all they had were pitchforks. The only use they had was to distract the archers. That unit was just a walking pin cushion.
