Staff Militiamen are village recruits of the Muscovite Tsardom.
Tactics[]
Almost utterly useless in combat, Staff Militiamen should be upgraded to Lance Militiamen or Posad Marksmen as soon as possible. Their sub-par melee weaponry, armor, and training makes them poor fighters all-around. However, they can easily dispatch looters. As they lack firearms, though, they may find bandits or brigands more challenging.
Their few redeeming qualities are their cheapness and usefulness as cannon fodder, to distract enemy troops so that far superior friendly forces can destroy them.
