Caravan Guards are tier-three mercenary cavalry in Mount&Blade and Warband.

Tactics[]

They are good starting cavalry but may be easily cut down by anyone stronger than looters and bandits, hence they are best used when upgraded as soon as possible.

Besides taverns, they can be encountered if the player decides to raid caravans crossing the overland map, their parties consisting of 12-40 troops - usually a Caravan Master, 5-25 Caravan Guards, and a few tier-one-and-two troops from the kingdom the caravan belongs to.

Caravan Guards do not use tactics when fought, usually charging straight into battle and giving the player little time to assemble whatever force they may have.

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.
