Ragusan Sailors (upgrade 1 and upgrade 2) image - Tsardoms Total War Mod for Medieval II: Total War: Kingdoms

The main strength of the Republic is its navy and as such it provides a large recruitment pool for the armed forces. However, there is no honour in being a lowly sailor. In fact the sailors are the dregs of society, men with no hope or better prospects. Their service is harsh and their life is cheap, they can be used as skirmishers or as expendable front line troops. Sailors have the lowest paying jobs in the Republic, so they can ill afford any armour, their small wooden shields and helmets being their only protection. Armed with javelins and axes these men are the last line of a ship's defence and should not be relied upon in engagements with more professional opponents.
