A unit will be defended by any other nobles it is stacked with.
Thus, a unit which is part of a stack cannot be attacked alone. No
matter which unit is specified in the attack
order, the entire
stack containing the unit will respond.
Only the leader of a stack may initiate combat. If another unit in a
stack wants to issue attack
, it must first drop out of the stack.
Combat involves nobles, who possess strong heroic fighting abilities, and fighters who may accompany them. Fighters include soldiers, pikemen, lt. foot, knights, paladins, crossbowmen, archers, etc.
