Description

Hastily trained peasants armed with simple weapons. Cheap and quick to recruit, forming the backbone of early armies.

📖 Full Encyclopedia Entry

The Militia represents common folk who have answered the call to arms. Armed with whatever weapons are available, they lack professional training but compensate with numbers. While individually weak (Attack 4, Life 8), mass recruitment enables early game defense and offense. Available to all races.
