Tier 9 - Militia and Levies
Militiamen are Villeins or Freeman who are called upon by Wessex to fight in battle when needed. Since they are not trained in drills they will more then likely be used as cannon fodder.
Tier 8 - Pedus
Both the Footman and Bowman hold the same millitary power in terms of rank. They are called differently to help squadron leaders differentiate what type of troops and how many they are controlling.
Footman are the most basic melee infantry units that are full-time soldiers. They recieve a small tax deduction; however, they must also attend 2 drills every week and are encourage to every drill during the week. Footman will be in units under the command of a squad leader and usually make up the front line of a formation.
Bowman are the beginings of an Archer. Bowman are less skilled and are rookie archers. They will usually be lined up behind a formation of Footman or mixed in with that formation. Bowman, like Footman, are also required to drill twice a week and encouraged to attend every drill that week.
Tier 7 - Miles
MaA's are the more experienced footmen. They are at the far right of the formation and lead a row which contains footman or bowman. To become a MaA you must have completed at least 12 basic or advanced drills and be deemed worthy.
Archers are at the same level as a Man-at-Arms and hold the same position in a formation if a MaA is not in the formation. They will most likely be in a squadron full of bowman and a few other archers and lead their rows as a MaA would.
