In-Game Description

The Black Dragon Mercenary Company is a much-feared band of freelancers who are not too choosy with their clients and known to fight on both sides of the same battle. Mercenaries supply their own kit and can boost the performance of their clients' own units, but they do not become better fighters over time.

Acquisition

Black Dragon Spearmen can be bought from the mercenaries tab for 4900 sovereigns or 700000 silver.
