Archer (Achr)
Archers use Longbows. Archer units are carefully trained to focus their fire as directed by officers on vital points in advancing lines or to evenly distribute fire throughout the enemy ranks. Archers are generally equipped with light armor and a simple melee weapon in addition to their missile weapon. Archer units are most effective if they are mobile enough to flank and evade slower, more heavily armed units.
Base unit ratings: +0 melee, +2 missile, 2 hits, move 1, +2 morale.
Special: Archer units gain a +2 bonus to missile attacks against mounted units.

Artillerist (Art)
Artillerist units consist of soldiers trained in the use of heavy missile devices and in the construction and use of siege equipment. Artillerists are commonly armed with arbalests, ballista, light catapults, and other slow, cumbersome, but powerful missile artillery weapons.
Artillery soldiers are specialists in the use of artillery weapons; they generally wear little armor and are relatively unskilled in hand-to-hand combat. Artillerists are most useful when they can be protected from direct engagement with the enemy by other units, terrain, or prepared fortifications. Artillerists carry equipment including tools, and the soldiers are trained in tunneling (sapping) and the construction of heavy siege equipment, including catapults, mangonels, covered rams, scaling ladders, and siege towers.
A unit of artillerists provides significant advantages to an army attempting to take a fortification by siege or storm. When attacking with their missile rating, artillerist units have increased range and can ignore any defensive bonus their target would normally receive from fortification or defensive terrain.
Base unit ratings: -2 melee, +4 missile, 2 hits, move 1, +2 morale save.
Special: Artillerist have a two area missile range in tactical combat and ignore any terrain/fortifications AC bonuses to their target. Artillerists are worth 10 units when inflicting siege damage, which allows for the taking of castles or cities.

Base unit ratings: +2 melee, +0 missile, 2 hits, move 3, +2 morale save.

Infantry (Inf)
Infantry units consist of well-trained, well equipped foot soldiers. They attack in formation to maximize their offensive potential and defensive capability.

Pikemen often wear light or medium armor.
Base unit ratings: +2 melee, no missile, 2 hits, move 1, +2 morale save.
