About
Unit Description
Volleys of withering fire reduce any would-be army to a riddled, desperate band.
Historical Description
State troops are paid as full-time professional soldiers, ready to answer the call to arms at all times. In addition to forming a standing army to repel enemy attack, they also serve as city guards, the fire watch and the enforcers of the law. However, most of the time these soldiers spend their days drilling and training with various weapons to the barked instructions of grim-faced, veterans. Each Imperial state trains its regiments to fight together on the battlefield, so Imperial armies often march to battle with detachments of missile troops to aid them. These units form up close to melee specialists to guard vulnerable flanks and shower oncoming enemies with missile fire or join their counterparts in close combat.
Attributes
Hide (forest)
This unit can hide in forests until enemy units get too close.
Strengths & Weaknesses
Armour-Piercing Missiles
The damage of 
armour-piercing weapons mostly ignores the armour of the target, making them the ideal choice against heavily-armoured enemies. They are often heavier and attack at a slower rate though, making them less efficient against poorly-armoured targets.
