Sword, Metal Armour |
Swordsmen are your elite foot soldiers. Their heavy armor makes them the slowest unit in the game but when they reach their target they prove devastating. They have both great offensive and defensive capabilities. When using or facing swordsmen one should always pay attention to burning pitch or oil tippers. Their slow speed makes swordsmen extremely vulnerable to fire.
