Freedmen

Freedmen
"A man, once freed of his chains, will not go quietly back into them."

Freedmen are an African Autonomi City Chain unit.

Unit Information
Freedmen are hale, hearty, and ready for battle. Having once tasted slavery, they now willingly and eagerly fight to defend their liberty. Their morale and charge bonus is correspondingly high, and their spears put them on even footing with cavalry. However, Freedmen lack armor of any kind and are vulnerable to missile units.

History
In Classical Antiquity, freedmen were generally former slaves. Children of freedmen were often given more rights than their parents, although freedmen often enjoyed success in the civil service and business ventures without the expanded rights of their children.
