Unit Description
Billmen become available to the English in the High period. They are not as heavily armoured as Halberdiers, but they are faster and have better attack and morale ratings. Like Halberdiers, Billmen will suffer some from cavalry charges, but overall are more useful in battle.
Billmen recruited in Mercia receive a +1 bonus to valour.
