A short step up from Looters and Bandits yet similar of quality, they are somewhat dangerous to new players. They spawn in groups of 3-60.
Rebels wear little armor and wield poor weapons, thus an experienced, well-equipped player can easily do away with them. What armor they do wear is very light - making them vulnerable to missiles and melee attacks - yet their weapons may include handmade firearms, making them dangerous in large numbers to any rookie or veteran player. They nonetheless pose no significant threat and can be cut down very easily with a large, well-equipped party.
Rebels attack head on and, if their numbers are large enough, en masse. The "marksmen" carrying handmade firearms shoot from a distance while their "infantry", armed with axes or lances, charge. If the marksmen are hit with melee attacks, they'll do the same with short carpenter axes. You can circle them and shoot at them, for they are never mounted. Rebels also love to use numbers to their advantage, and will swarm straggling troops - make sure this doesn't happen to you if you're just starting out on the game!
