Conscripted with short swords. Cheap core melee line — field them in numbers. Armor strongly recommended.
Units
Troop types, stats, and counters
Confirmed data
Mandate Order's Early Access launch ships with four troop types, each defined by the weapon used at conscription: melee infantry (short sword), polearm infantry (long ge), archers (bow), and chariot troops. Chariot attacks knock soldiers back in a parabolic arc, and archers can garrison on city walls with Hold orders. Full stat tables will follow as data is mined.
