These guys are amateurs who are worse in battle than the cannonfodder Footmen and can barely outfight Bowmen in melee. You'd think for such a unit they'd be cheap. Nope at over 400 gold per season, they're one of the most expensive units around being about 4 times more than most elite heavy infantry.
