Woodsmen are tougher Peasants from Northern Europe. Cost: 75 Florins, upkeep: 22 florins/year (3/8 florin per man).Extras: Armor Piercing, +1 Valor if trained in Lithuania, 25% cheaper for Novgorod.Stats: Charge 8, attack 1, defense -1, armor 1, morale -2, speed: average for infantry.Regions: Livonia, Lithuania, Norway, Novgorod, Poland, Sweden, Silesia, Volhynia.They are cheap and expendable, useful as fodder or to fill out garrisons. They are still weaker than most other units and should only be used in an auxiliary capacity, but they are fast and can be used to chase after routing infantry and to assault Archers. They are an improvement over Peasants and are somewhat useful in battle. Slav Warriors are an alternative to Peasants and can be raised in parts of Eastern Europe. Cost: 100 Florins, upkeep: 37 florins/year (3/8 florin per man).Stats: Charge 5, attack 0, defense -2, armor 1, morale 0, speed: fast for infantry.Regions: Prussia, Pomerania, Poland, Silesia, Bohemia, Lithuania, Smolensk, Chernigov, Muscovy, Moldavia, Volhynia, Kiev, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria.Their only useful attack is a charge, but even this pales compared to the same attack used by Spearmen. Their weak attack, weak defense, and poor morale make them a liability when facing better units, even other early units like Urban Militia and Archers. They are a good way to rapidly increase the size of your army in the early game, but it's a good idea to replace them with nearly any other unit type as soon as something else becomes available. Their advantage is that they are the first unit type available, and are extremely cheap to train and maintain. Peasants are the weakest and least useful units available. Cost: 50 Florins, upkeep: 37 florins/year (3/8 florin per man).Extras: +1 Valor if trained in Provence.Stats: Charge 4, attack -2, defense -4, armor 1, morale -2, speed: average for infantry.
