Military System

The recruitment of men to an army during the Middle Ages was largely levied rather than standing armies. This system can result with men with different experiences, equipment, and other items. Nobles who can afford a set of equipment and personal guards can be helpful to a ruler. Towns and cities can raise their militas to fight, but usually they're used for the defense of the town or city. A typical feudal army would be a group of highly-skilled knights of the ruler and their household troops, as well as the levies raised on the baronies or counties of the ruler.
