Standard Troops
Light troops are all level 3 warriors, they share their basic characteristics but are differentiated by the peacetime role they perform. Light Foot are the main utility unit and come automatically with all buildings that have Def points. They might be used to - guard buildings, carry out countryside patrols, police a city, staff watchtowers, guard gates, patrol city walls, etc. Light Cavalry are messengers and fast scouts.
- Town Guards are the default troops for Urban defence developments
- Scouts are the default troops in Wilderness and Rural areas
- Private Guards are the default for House Guards, Personal Guards and Mercenary Units
- Basic Troops or Duellist will be the default in most other cases
- All Standard troops are built using the Standard Troop Template.
- Light Cavalry must have the Cavalry Troops Template applied as well.
Troop Units
All troops are trained to fight as a unit, so if you face a unit of Light Troops in combat, I shall treat them as a swarm, using the following stat blocks.
Individual Troop Types
Light Troops are built using the Standard Troop Template.
Basic Troops
Soldiers
State troops, who form the basis of the standing army. There is no requirement for independent cities or landowners to use these models, however, unless you specify it somewhere, these are the default. Towns and Private estates (such as a Noble's holdings) are normally patrolled by Guards, rather than State Troops.
