====== Levy ======

{{:nations:ea:ermor:gladiator.png?nolink}}"Levies" are allowed to **retire/desert** at the end of a battle, if they do the bare minimum in it.

===But what is the bare minimum?===

Fortunately, the "bare minimum" isn't just showing up! They have to do one of the following:

  - Deal a point of [[damage]] with an attack
  - Take a point of [[damage]] from an attack

Desertion happens at the end of the battle, so it's not like these things have only 1 HP.

===Why use Levies?===

Simply put, Levies are {{:misc:gui:resources.png?nolink}} Resource-cheap. If you have the [[Gold]], you can pile up a ton of them in a single turn.

Aside from that, there aren't a lot of levies. Only two kinds of troops are levies, the ??Gladiator?? and the ??Retiarius??, and they're only in the nations of [[ermor-ea|EA Ermor]], [[pythium-ma|MA Pythium]], [[pythium-la|LA Pythium]] and [[sceleria-ma|Sceleria]]. By human standards, both levy types are rather above-average at dealing damage, and their high HP and [[Morale]] make them decently persistent in the one battle they'll make a difference in.
