The city military can become the most important target for a war-like city, or an unwanted necessity for a city expecting invasion from beyond its walls. All cities and most villages have men which can be enlisted in barracks to form a potent fighting force. For every hour of citizen (non-novice) playing time, providing the citizen is outside of protected locations and not under divine protection, a man will appear, wandering and lost within the streets of the city. It is up to the Field Marshall, the Colonels, or the Field Marshall Aides to lead this man into the relative safety of a barracks and enlist him. You must also remember to feed your soldiers, usually by keeping a wagon or cart full of rations within the location, or in the open, on the ground. An enlisted man will remain in your army as a functioning, serving soldier for around twenty years before he retires.
