Scythe Wielders are Polish Commonwealth conscripts armed with scythes.

Tactics[]

With their poor melee weaponry, virtually non-existent training, and near complete lack of armor, they are militia not to be relied upon heavily. They should be upgraded to Musket Militiamen or Militia Pikemen as soon as possible.

As they are very cheap, they can be recruited en masse and used as cannon fodder, distracting enemy troops so that far superior allied forces can destroy them.

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.
