Olympia: The Age of Gods PBEM (May 4 1999)
Nobles may be accompanied by different kinds of men. Men may be
peasants obtained with the recruit
order, or peasants who have
been trained into other kinds of men such as sailors, soldiers or
workers.
The different kinds of men:
The peasant is the basis of all these types of men. Starting with a peasant, a noble with the proper skills can slowly train him to be any one of these types of men. The possibilities are shown in this chart:
+--- sailor ------- pirate +---- worker +--- ninja / +---- fanatic / +----- lt. xbowman / +------ hvy. xbowman / / peasant --- skirmisher --- soldier --- lt. foot --- hvy. foot \ +--- cavalier +--- pikeman +--- archer \ +--- horse archer +--- elite archer hvy. foot --- knight--- paladin
Training a man may require that the noble have a certain skill, or possess some item. For instance, training soldiers into light foot requires a longsword [74] for each footsman produced. The training noble must also know Swordplay [9580].
Some men may only be trained in certain kinds of locations. For example, pirates may only be trained on board a ship.
Training takes one day per man. Training five archers into five elite archers would take five days, for example.
