Outlaw

The outlaw is an ambush unit appearing in Stronghold 2 and Stronghold Legends.
==Description==
Outlaws are fast and expensive units suitable for ambush near forested areas due to their mostly green camouflaged, which also conceals them in forests. Outlaws are armed with spears and will throw them at nearby enemy units for moderate damage. The javelin takes some time to "recharge"; while waiting for them to restock, the outlaw will attack with a shortsword that deals low damage. Outlaws are not particularly useful in this case due to their fairly low health, making them more ideal for ground harassment.
In Stronghold 2, outlaws are hired through the mercenary post. They are also generated by Outlaw Camps, although these buildings are always hostile (and thus the spawning outlaws are aggressive to all players), who will then proceed to harass nearby unprotected settlements when enough of them have spawned.

==Trivia==
*Outlaws are also present in Stronghold Legends, although they can't be directly hired. They can only be accessed through a random event during a skirmish game, indicated by this message: "Some Outlaws from the woods have repented their sins and offer you service". Interestingly, a similar message appears in Stronghold 1 and Stronghold Crusader when the player gets friendly reinforcements by a similar random event, with the difference that the reinforcing army consists of archers and a monk.
*It is said that when they throw their javelins near woods their camouflage does not work. This needs confirmation.
*The outlaw speaks with a French accent. By his dialogue, it can be assumed that he dislikes lords for some reason, saying things like "You Lords... You're all full of it!"
