Camp Followers are female mercenary infantrywomen on the path to becoming Sword Sisters.

Tactics[]

Camp Followers are not much better than Peasant Women and should be kept out of combat at all costs, as you could only expect them to hold their own against Looters (and even then only if the numbers aren't in the Looters' favor).

Rely on your trainer skill to level these units up. Once promoted to Huntress, they can generally enter combat without getting themselves killed as long as they have plenty of support from superior troops. Once they reach Camp Defender or Sword Sister level, they can hold their own against most other troops.

Stats and equipment[]

Note: Troops have a set of default stats; at the beginning of a new game, these stats are randomly adjusted for each type of troop. The following is the default set for this troop as seen within the game code and may not reflect the specific stats you will see during actual gameplay. For more information, see troop stats.

They never get any Arrows, so they cannot use the Short Bow.
