Mediaeval Ireland, for all purposes, remained poor and backward, for the reasons that no one single unified government existed to keep things in check. As such, however, one man's desperation is another man's opportunity, and so the Welsh and Scots have benefitted especially from the migration of native Irish, seeking glory and (more importantly) riches through service on the battlefield.

| - Mediaeval Ireland, for all purposes, remained poor and backward, for the reasons that no one single unified government existed to keep things in check. As such, however, one man's desperation is another man's opportunity, and so the Welsh and Scots have benefitted especially from the migration of native Irish, seeking glory and (more importantly) riches through service on the battlefield. As can be expected, Hibernians are not effective units, and are one step near from being little better than the Asian-style suicide soldiers, due to their deficiency in armour. They, however, have a limited ranged attack that makes them useful against enemy foot archers, perhaps slightly moreso than shield bearers usually are. However, as can be expected, do not expect to think of fielding them except in large numbers against enemy melee units, and always be wary of heavy cavalry and siege weapons, which can make short work of them. Note that has they are armed with javelins, they do not have the anti-spear or anti-building bonus which most medium infantry normally have. A renegade version of the Hibernian, the kerne, wander Europe as journeymen and will sell their service to the highest bidders. These units are recruitable as single-unit infantry only, and unlike normal Hibernians are recruitable only in the Castle Age.
