If they can stop the horse, a cluster of them can bring down a horseman. However, Looters can also demonstrate some of the potential weaknesses of mounted troops. These attacks can instead be considered more of an annoyance than a threat. The rocks they throw tend to be inaccurate and inflict extremely limited damage to even the most poorly-armored of troops. Once engaged, Looters highlight the power a horse gives a combatant, allowing mounted troops to move freely in and out of reach of their weapons. On higher difficulties, thrown stones can be dangerous to players without a helmet though, as a well-aimed rock can do quite a bit of damage, sometimes even knocking the player out.Īs a commonly available weak troop, Looters are often used to train low-tier recruits and can be engaged confidently even without support troops. A well-armored adventurer will be effectively invulnerable to thrown rocks, allowing you to ignore them until you get closer or they run out of stones while dealing with the others.

Looters who hold throwing stones will stay back from the rest of the group and attempt to pummel you with their weak projectiles. Looters will always try to swarm you and knock you out to capture you.


Some will throw stones at you again if you move out of melee range while they still have ammo. Looters will throw stones from afar until approached or out of ammo, and/or then charge and swarm.
