Hired Guard

Hired Guards are upgraded from Peasant Men'''. ''' They can be found throughout the land, guarding the caravans and inside the inn.

Overview
The Hired Guards are equipped with simple weapons, much better than the Peasant Men. Their armaments consist of polearms, guns and one-handed swords while retaining the same clothing. At least they have something to fight back with.

Tactics
Hired Guard may be considered as an upgraded Peasant Man. Since they still retain the peasant's cloths, they are still weak as compared to others. Placing them infront of other peasant troops and villagers may sound like a good idea since they get to shoot and defend themselves better than the tier one troops. Positioning them on the highest point of the battleground behind the sharpshooters will allow some of them to fire off their gun all the time, taking out a man or two and contribute to the fight.

Hired Guards are very easy to train, high training skills and training on the training field will train up many for the next rank. They can be upgraded to become a Hired Gunner or Yojimbo.
