Armed in Byzantine-style armour, and bearing sharp swords and sturdy bucklers, these men consist of the many nobles of Armenia who are too poor to afford a horse. This lack however doesn't put a dint in their skills, however, and in a nation that has had to remain vigilant against the Byzantines and Muslims, these men form a self-sufficient pool of troops who need less food as such for upkeep. Additionally like all unique units, no military research is required to access them, thus through the Azat Yeomen Armenian players are assured of a high-quality light- to medium-strength infantry unit that is fairly cheap and easy to obtain.

| - Armed in Byzantine-style armour, and bearing sharp swords and sturdy bucklers, these men consist of the many nobles of Armenia who are too poor to afford a horse. This lack however doesn't put a dint in their skills, however, and in a nation that has had to remain vigilant against the Byzantines and Muslims, these men form a self-sufficient pool of troops who need less food as such for upkeep. Additionally like all unique units, no military research is required to access them, thus through the Azat Yeomen Armenian players are assured of a high-quality light- to medium-strength infantry unit that is fairly cheap and easy to obtain. With regards to tactics, Azat Yeomen are best used in huge numbers, however, and are meant to be used against all types of mainstream infantry. Back these men up with your more lethal cavalry for maximum results in the field. The tumultous politics of Armenia always meant that despite being at home in the very place which was the homeland of the Hittite empire almost two thousand years ago, the Armenians were often doomed to become the vassals of larger and more united powers whenever they arose, such as the Achaemenid Persians, the Romans, the Sassanians and finally the Mongols and Saracens. In this world, the local gentry or Azats often loomed large over the land and often fought against fellow noble and king alike. Some of these men are also recruitable to some of the larger factions as mercenaries.
