The Troop Tree

The troop tree of Anno Domini 1257 is divided into two main branches: noble and common. Noble troops are recruited from castles and towns, while common troops are recruited from villages. Noble troops are generally more expensive, better equipped, and have higher skills than common troops, but they are also harder to obtain and require more relation with the lords. Common troops are cheaper, more accessible, and more numerous than noble troops, but they are also weaker and less versatile.
