National Guard

National Guards are an early-game unit used predominantly for defence forces of early nations due to their strength bonus when defending home territory.
The National Guard's bonus gives it a +50% bonus when defending home territory
They have a cheap upkeep of 1 Money, 1 Food, which is a typical upkeep for early-game units.
== Obtaining ==
 National Guards can only be obtained through two different methods: Exhausting Invasion of Tind cards or training them through the Unit Shop.
=== Exhausting Cards ===
Exhausting the Rare Invasion of Tind card "Fresh Recruits" will grant you one National Guard.
=== Unit Shop ===
Provided you have a level one Barracks, you can recruit National Guards at a cost of 480 Money. They take 4 hours to recruit.
== Strategies ==
Because they have worse base stats than any other Infantry in the game, you shouldn't use National Guards for missions/peacekeeping. If using National Guards for defence, their +50% strength when defending home territory is a nice bonus. However, they will quickly crumble against tier 4 units such as Mortar Infantry. Beyond the first few initial tiers, National Guards shouldn't be used at all.
