Unit Description

Bulgarian Brigands are available to the Byzantines, Hungarians, Poles, and Russians. They are faster than the vanilla Archers and are better at melee combat. This allows them to operate as flanking units in a pinch once their arrows are expended.


Bulgarian Brigands should be deployed in two rows for maximum effectiveness. They start battles in Skirmish mode, but this cannot always be trusted to keep them out of trouble, although their speed helps them in this regard. For defensive battles, they work well positioned on a hill behind spear or other melee units, allowing them to fire over the heads of their protectors into the oncoming enemy troops.


Bulgarian Brigands recruited in Bulgaria gain a +1 bonus to valour.

The bow Bulgarian Brigands use does not have any armour piercing bonus, so firing on heavily armoured units will have minimal effect. They also fire on an arc, which means the shot takes a while to reach the target and can miss fast moving units altogether. Archer effectiveness will suffer in rainy weather.
