Description

Swordsmen are a mainly defensive unit that are slow due to heavy armor. They are available early in the game and are reasonably cheap.

Swordsmen are strong defending ranged units, such as the Slinger, a common offence unit. They are also good at defending against units with blunt weapons. However, they are weak attackers, due to their slow speed and weak attacking attribute.
