Empire Peasant

Master the Empire Peasant troop type in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord! Learn their starting skill values for One Handed, Two Handed, Polearm, Bow, Crossbow, Throwing, Riding, and Athletics.

Alright, let's talk about the Empire Peasant unit in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord. These guys are the backbone of many Imperial armies, and understanding their starting skills is key to knowing how they'll perform early on and what they can grow into. Think of this as their initial stat sheet – what they're good at right out of the gate.

Here's a breakdown of their starting skill values:

As you can see, they're pretty decent with their hands – good One Handed and Polearm skills mean they can hold their own in a fight. They've also got a solid base in Athletics, which is always useful for survivability. However, they're completely untrained in Bows and Crossbows, and don't have any Riding skill, so don't expect them to be archers or cavalry anytime soon. Their Throwing skill is okay, but not their strong suit. This gives you a good idea of how to deploy them and what kind of perks you might want to focus on as they level up.
