Slave/Stronghold Crusader

Slaves are the cheapest hireable Arabian unit. They are the weakest and poorest combat units, trumped by even spearmen and slingers. In great numbers however, they can combat and overrun even armored units when clumped up in one tile, including the lord.
Besides their harassment potential, slaves are best used in a castle's defense, as they are the only mercenary with the ability to dig and fill the moat.

==Trivia==
*Slaves are signature units of the Caliph, who uses fire to its utmost potential in order to undermine his enemies' efforts. Most other Arabian lords use them as a moat digger/filler.
*If your population is equal to the one defined by popularity and housing but you need an extra worker for that farm, stop a facility, buy a slave, retire that slave, launch the stopped facility again. It is performable with any unit, but slave is cheapest and quickest available way to perform this.
*If the Sultan's castle template includes a moat, the Sultan will recruit three slaves to dig the moat. This is only possible by using an AI editor utility, since none of the Sultan's vanilla castles make use of moat.
