For other uses, see Watchman (disambiguation).

Watchmen are tier-two mercenary infantry in Mount&Blade and Warband.

Tactics[]

Serving as guards in towns, they are very cheap troops that can be easily upgraded overnight into Caravan Guards if you invest in the Trainer skill or spar with them at a Training Field.

Watchmen are very hard troops to use on the battlefield - with low-level armor and weapons, they are best used against looters or bandits. Though they are good starter troops, your best bet is to upgrade them to Caravan Guards as soon as possible.

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.
