Peasant

Peasants are the most important unit in GambCiv. They are the only unit you can recruit initially, and you will use them more than anything else.

Building
The peasant allows you to construct the various other things in GambCiv.

You just right click anywhere in range three around it (assuming that hex also has community) and you will be presented with the construction options for that terrain type.

Special Recruitment
The prices on the right are what you would pay if you recruited a peasant via a hut. However you can also use Wesnoth's recruitment system at a castle with a keep. This will save you 4 gold.

On turn one you can recruit through Wesnoth's recruitment system without using any action points or food.

Upgrading
Peasants can be turned into other unit types at either a recruiter or a university teaching "green magic" (and of course all units have their regular Wesnoth advancements).

Recruiters will turn the peasant into a soldier. Types include: Bowman, Cavalryman, Fencer, Heavy Infantryman, Horseman, Sergeant, and Spearman.

The "green magic" universities will turn the peasant into an elf. Types include: Archer, Fighter, Scout, Shaman, and Wose.
