Nord Footmen are troops of the Kingdom of Nords. They are the second tier of Nord melee units, and fill in a small part of most Nord armies.

Nord Footmen are typically hardened villagers clad in fur and leather garb, wielding axes in addition to shields. They carry throwing weapons, similar in the way that their Swadian Militia counterparts may carry crossbows. They guard Nord towns, and you will be assaulted by several Nord Footmen if you fail in an attempt at sneaking into a hostile city or castle.

Tactics[]

Due to their chance of carrying throwing axes, Nord Footmen are easily the most dangerous second tier infantry unit. A group of these could easily hold off Sea Raiders, and they can be quickly upgraded to the well-armed Nord Trained Footman, who are incredibly dangerous.

They are the only Nord unit wielding spears.
