Despite having decent armour and weapons better than crude spears and shortswords, the general lack of training of Armoured Militia will not avail against the more professional sword-and-buckler men of the European factions, or even the surprising rigour of fully upgraded Muslim jundis. But then again, the near-primitive infantry armies of Asia and Eastern Europe are not known for generally concentrating on an individual's strengths, but in the ability of that individual being part of a group. And in this case, a larger group. Whereas European sword-and-buckler mean are meant to serve in the flanks or to fill in gaps, Armoured Militia however are the staple of most armies with a deficit in heavy infantry.
