and then come back

i mean when i played M2TW I always used mercenaries like that

granted

mercenaries are way more valuable

than your regular medieval army

in all honesty

scouts are inferior to just having your normal infantry look ahead

they arent expendable

irl you dont treat mercenaries like meat shields

your own army is expendable

also sent them in to carry the siege equipement

or you lose your mercenaries lul

a lot of mercenaries were highly elite

most mercenaries are

they where in my army

what do you think the third son of a lord does

his family buys him armour and a horse

and he becomes a mercenary

can't pay them if they dead is what i though

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genoese_crossbowmen

as opposed to your typical army of peasants

just like D-Dogs

they usually were in a company

so you payed even if they died

More cushin for pushin brother @Flavius Stilicho

unless its seriously multilayer

depends on the bow/mail

arrowheads are pretty long

depends on the range it was fired at

longbows probably

more cusion for not dying

yeah depends on a few factors
