Military

Recruits are trained from peasants. Every other unit is trained from recruits: attack and defence soldiers, elite soldiers, thieves and magicians. You train them on the Military page of your province; some units need a knowledge first (see Knowledges).
The units of every race (made from the game, so they are always up to date):

- Frost Giants: Frost Giants are specialized defensive units. With their cool heads they can halt many attacking militaries. Their training requires 18 additional days after basic recruit training.
- Earth Giants: The elite Earth Giant is strong. Both in defense and offense, this unit will slay all before him. They are expensive and do need additional 24 days of training, but a force of Earth elementals is frightning indeed.
- Thieves: Only the smallest of giants are suited for thieves, this makes them weaker than their military brethren. They require an additional 24 days of training.
- Wizards: The more studious wizards have forgotten most of their military training by the time they are trained, which takes 24 days. This makes them weaker than the recruits they were trained from.
