The Swordsman is a very cheap unit but because of his armour it is very slow, and it´s not able to farm as well as other units once they are available. At the beginning everybody has 6 Swordsmen to assure the defence of your city.
Each ruler begins the game with six Swordsmen to assure the defense of their city.
