Warriors can nonetheless prove cost-effective early defenders when employed strategically on rough terrain such as with es, or behind City Walls.

== Civilopedia entry ==
The earliest military forces were simply the citizens of the city, armed with whatever implements they could use as weapons. Although a militia made up of warriors was inexpensive, they were no match for organized armies. Warriors were usually used as a stopgap measure while waiting for superior units to be trained, or to defend a city that has been temporarily cut off from military support. In a crisis situation, an assembly of warriors is a better choice than no defense at all.
