  1. Billmen:
  2.  
  3. They were named so for the billhook weapon they used, Billmen were a type of heavy infantry that had become more apparent in use during the Late Medieval Period. The billhook weapon allowed them to thrust, hack and chop their way on the battlefield with relative ease. They were deployed to dismount the cavalry that tried to break their armies’ rank. Half or sometimes three fourths of their bodies were covered in plate armor combined with a gambeson, trained specifically to dismount enemy cavalry alongside to disarm the shield line of their foes.

  5. Two-handed infantry:
  6.  
  7. This type of armor had become nearly impossible to pierce due to the use of two handed weaponry swung by specifically trained infantries. This became very common in the Medieval Ages. A two-handed sword, axe, a hammer or a spear were the weapons used by this infantry to destroy enemy spears, dismount cavalry, break ranks easily or crush knights specifically. The numerous ways they were used on the battlefields was impressive to say the least. They were clad in plate armor and gambeson usually, but if they were to dismount and target knights, they would most likely use a light armor instead.

  9. Macemen:
  10.  
  11. A maceman is a medieval infantryman armed with a heavy club called a "mace." The mace is usually constructed of wood and metal. The head of the mace is faced with spikes, spines or knobs, allowing the weapon to more easily penetrate armor. The mace was a weapon of the feudal ages. The weapon is brutally powerful but also heavy and unwieldy, making it perfect for taking on slow-moving, heavily-armored targets such as knights and armored infantry.
