Manor Lords
How to Form A Militia
Your Militia is composed of armed male citizens of your settlement in Manor Lords. See a list of Militia units, how to form your Militia, as well as what weapons and armor to equip all your Militia units.

How to Form a Militia
Click Create New Units to Form Militia
| Militia | Required Resources |
|---|---|
| Militia Footmen | Sidearms Small Shields |
| Spear Militia | Spears Large Shields |
| Polearm Militia | Polearms |
| Archer Militia | Warbows |
Militia can be formed once you have enough men and the requisite Military Resources in your settlement. To recruit a Militia, open the Army tab and click on the plus button. From there, you just have to select which type of Militia you want to add to your army.
Cannot Recruit Militia If Your Army Has 6 Units
As a note, there's a unit cap for the Militia, and you cannot recruit them if you already have 6 units in your army. Try to fill your army with Militia first so that you can expand your army with Retinue and Mercenaries later down the line.

While you can use any type of Militia in your army, each one needs a specific weapon for them to arm themselves. Militia Weapons are produced by making Backyard Extensions in Burgage Plots, such as Joiner's Workshops and Blacksmith's Workshops.
How to Get Militia Armor
| Resource | Obtained From | Production Building |
|---|---|---|
| Gambesons |
Linen |
・Tailor's Workshop |
| Helmets |
Iron Slab |
・Armorer's Workshop |
| Mail Armor |

| Plate Armor |

・Armorer's Workshop |
Armour is not necessary to recruit Militia, but you'll need it if you want to upgrade them. Build the necessary backyard extensions so that you can produce these items and upgrade your units.
As a note, you'll need certain Developments to unlock the production of these armours, minus Gambesons. You'll need Basic, Advanced, and Master Armormaking to craft Helmets, Mail Armour, and Plate Armour respectively.
Upgrade Burgage Plots to Level 3
For your Militia to equip and upgrade their armor, they'll need to be living in a Level 3 Burgage Plot. Make sure to satisfy their needs so that you can upgrade their Burgage Plots, which will then upgrade their combat effectiveness.
How to Upgrade Burgage Plot Levels
How to Arm Your Militia
Weapons and Armors are Equipped Automatically
Your militia will arm themselves automatically, as long as you have enough resources, weapons, and armor in your settlement. Just remember that you'll need Level 3 Burgage Plots for your Militia to equip themselves with better armor, provided that you have it available.
