Warfare/es

Las unidades pueden ser ordenadas a caminar o correr. Correr permite atravesar el terreno más rápido pero afectará la Fatiga de las tropas.

La formación de tus unidades puede ser modificada manteniendo el clic derecho del mouse y arrastrándolo para decidir la profundidad de tu formación.

Ciertas unidades tienen comandos adicionales:
 * Los Arqueros pueden recibir la orden de abrir fuego aún con la posibilidad de herir a soldados aliados, o solo atacar cuando no haya tal riesgo.
 * Los Mercenarios y las Guardias pueden recibir la orden de esparcirse, lo que los volverá blancos difíciles para las flechas y los hará correr ligeramente más rápido, pero disminuirá su efectividad en el combate cuerpo a cuerpo.

Si un soldado porta escudo, recibirá menos daño en ataques frontales pero se cansará más rápido. Si un soldado es atacado por detrás, sufrirá el doble de daño. Estas mecánicas direccionales aplican tanto al combate cuerpo a cuerpo como al combate a distancia con arcos.



Estadísticas de unidades
Each unit has the following stats:
 * Morale is the willingness to fight. If it reaches critical points some stances become unavailable and if it is depleted the unit will flee from battle. Militia has increased Morale in their home region.
 * Fatigue is how rested the unit is. Each point of Fatigue lost reduces Effectiveness by an equal amount. When depleted the unit can no longer run. Fatigue is slowly restored as long as the unit is not doing anything. Fatigue is multiplied by the armor and shield values.
 * Effectiveness is the attack and defense multiplier. It is increased if the unit is moving or fighting downhill and reduced if the unit is moving and fighting uphill or is surrounded. Archers also lose Effectiveness during rain.
 * Attack is how much damage it deals.
 * Armor reduces damage done by enemy Attack.
 * Shield reduces damage done by enemy Attack from forward attacks.
 * Anti Armor reduces enemy Armor.
 * Charge gives a bonus to Attack when the initial charge hits the enemy.
 * Impaling cancels the enemy Charge bonus and turns it against them but only if the unit is facing the enemy and not moving.

Unit stances
Each unit may have one of five stances:
 * Give Ground slowly pushes the formation line backward, luring the enemy to follow.
 * Missile Alert doubles the chance to avoid or block arrows but halves melee defense.
 * Balanced is the default stance with no bonuses or penalties.
 * Stand Your Ground doubles defense but halves attack speed.
 * Push Forward tries to push forward with full force.

Unit types
There are 3 types of units in Manor Lords: militia, mercenaries and the retinue.

Militia are units recruited from among the male villagers. They require weapons depending on the militia type. Each militia is made up of 36 men but can have less if there aren't sufficient weapons. Each soldier will try to equip a Helmet if one is available. If their Burgage Plot is level 2 they will also try to equip a Gambeson if one is available, while level 3 Burgage Plots will request a Mail Armor instead. The helmet and body armor are both optional for a troop to form, but both increase the armor of the troop. There are 4 militia types:
 * Militia Footmen require Sidearms and Small Shields
 * Spear Militia require Spears and Large Shields
 * Polearm Militia require Polearms
 * Archer Militia require Warbows

Retinue is made up of professional soldiers and is created when constructing the first Manor building. Every soldier can individually have its colors customized and its armor upgraded at the cost of 9 or 18 Treasury. Initially the Retinue has 5 soldiers and each additional soldier must be recruited manually at the cost of 50 Treasury. The Retinue can have up to 12 soldiers and the limit is increased by another 12 for each Garrison Tower module in a Manor. The overall stats of the retinue may vary slightly due to differing weapon distribution - for example having more polearm wielding retinue will lead to having a higher charge and anti armor value, and not having any, sets anti armor to 0.

Mercenaries
Mercenaries are paid each month with Treasury. They are rallied as soon as they are hired and if disbanded they will leave.

3 mercenary companies are available each month. There are 8 possible mercenary companies:
 * Local Thugs costs 15 and gives 1 Brigands
 * Brigands For Hire costs 30 and gives 2 Brigands
 * The Wayward Sons costs 45 and gives 1 Light Mercenary Archers and 1 Heavy Mercenary Archers
 * Battle Brothers costs 50 and gives 1 Light Mercenary Infantry and 1 Light Mercenary Spearmen
 * The Brotherhood of the Forest costs 60 and gives 1 Brigands and 1 Light Mercenary Archers
 * Flock of Crazy Geese costs 90 and gives 1 Light Mercenary Archers, 1 Light Mercenary Infantry and 1 Light Mercenary Spearmen
 * Greencaps costs 90 and gives 1 Light Mercenary Archers and 2 Light Mercenary Infantry
 * The Ravenous Vultures costs 110 and gives 3 Light Mercenary Infantry
