Armed with a lance and plate armour these trained and experienced mercenaries are well known for their capricious ways.
Enriched by trade, but with only a few small armies, Italian city states have resorted to hiring companies of mercenaries known as Condottieri. Very well equipped with a lance and plate armour, these trained and experienced soldiers are known for their capricious behaviour, such as avoiding combat, and swapping sides for better pay before or even during battle!

Condottieri are availble after 1400
