Swordsman

Swordsmen are the most powerful melee unit in both Stronghold and Stronghold Crusader. They have a very powerful attack and very good armour. However, their main weakness is that they are also the slowest unit in the game and as such enemies can avoid them easily and leave it up to Crossbowmen to take them down (as Crossbowmen have a powerful enough ranged attack to quickly defeat Swordsmen).

To train Swordsmen you need both swords and metal armour.

Arabic swordsmen are a mercenary unit in Stronghold: Crusader. As they are mercenaries they don't require swords or metal armour to train. They are less heavily armoured than the standard Swordsmen but they are also faster.
