游牧军

对于游牧制玩家，游牧军是近卫军的替代品。游牧军需要人力与金钱或者威望来建立和维持。和近卫军不同的是，每支游牧军部队在建立之初会有一半的规模（125人）。同时，游牧军补充速度也比近卫军要快（最大每月10%）。

游牧军主要是骑兵，游牧制首都拥有一些建筑可以增加他们的战斗力。

通过威望建立的轻骑兵战斗力会比通过金钱建立的要差，这鼓励玩家更多的使用通过金钱——而不是威望——建立的游牧军。在3.00版本后，游牧政体也可以使用通过虔诚建立的游牧军。这是仅有的获得一定数量的诸如弓箭手、重步兵、长枪兵等其他兵种游牧军的方法。

Reinforcement

A purchased regiment starts out with 125 men and gradually reinforces up to full capacity. If the horde takes casualties, each regiment will reinforce continually until they are back to full strength.

If a ruler cannot afford the (sometimes steep) cost, reinforcement can be halved or stopped completely on the retinue tab:

• normal reinforcement rate: 10% per month.
• half reinforcement rate: 5% per month.
• no reinforcement.

At 10% per month, regiments nominally takes 5 months to fill from the time they are newly recruited. It may be slightly faster due to rounding.
