Wall Towers: Despite popular belief, wall towers were un-manned sentries that would magically create a never ending barrage of arrows/ballistae bolts/cannon fire, only if friendly troops were stationed nearby to "channel their fighting spirit" into them so it could generate its projectiles out of thin air.
Walls: It is little known that walls not only hollow and kept the enemy out, but also kept your own men from firing at the enemy as well. During most sieges and attacks, archers would line up on walls to defend and shoot arrows from the seemingly advantageous position, only to realize the crenelated walls, despite having gaps to shoot from, were impossible to fire from without using a near 90degree lobbed shot.
Spies: One of the most common things to have ever existed, perhaps only second to water. Proof of this is shown by how nearly every Village,Town,or City has a Thieves Guild dedicated to the art of spying. Be warned however, that spies you personally use will always be inferior to ones that other countries employ, resulting in your spies dying every time they try to enter a city or castle .
Princesses: Otherwise known as the "female diplomats", performed no other function other then to serve as diplomats with maybe a few more tricks available to them. On a side note, princesses, despite being of noble blood and being pampered for most (if not all) of their life, would often have a 'secret lover' which is also a contradiction in terms, due to the fact that if you know she is seeing him, its not exactly a secret now is it?
Gunpowder infantry: Back when first invented, armies had a really hard time using these weapons. Despite being able to magically make the gunpowder dry despite the weather, men holding guns would often find it hard to load, aim, and fire on targets, and would often re-form their ranks due to the enemy moving towards the units flanks. It is often theorized that the men who used the guns were actually obsessive compulsive, and could not take action unless the circumstances were exactly perfect.
