Mercenaries

Several bands have risen to prominence within Traykon's feudal structure. A few bands are even strong enough to rival the great armies of the land.

Types of Companies

• Swordsman:: Specialized Fighters who are elite infantry units.
• Light Infantry:: Normally equipped with Short Sword and light or no armor. These units are the backbone of most armies.
• Heavy Infantry:: Better armed and armored than Light Infantry. Pikemen and Axemen fall into this category.
• Archers:: Archers can be equipped with Longbows, Shortbows, Crossbows, or Slings. Archer groups almost never wear other than light armor.
• Mounted Archers:: These are the same as regular archers but usually ride light warhorses.
• Light Cavalry:: Light Cavalry will be riding either Light or Medium Warhorses and tend to use weapons that are effective for "hit and run" tactics.
• Heavy Cavalry:: These horsemen usually ride armored Heavy Warhorses and carry a lance or spear for maximum charging damage.
• Irregulars:: Often called fodder by noble commanders, these units are poorly equipped and have no training. Few mercenary bands would employ Irregulars due to their short life expectancy.
