Unit Description
Dismounted Royal Bodyguards are only available by dismounting Royal Bodyguards during a siege battle. Their stats are pretty impressive for spearmen, but the small unit size limits their effectiveness in battle. Maintaining the rank bonus will be very difficult without making the unit frontage so short as to be worthless.
