Demesne Crossbowmen are a chivalric era crossbowman ranged infantry unit.

In-Game Description

The crossbow boasts similar penetrating power to the much larger longbow, although it has a lower rate of fire due to the greater effort required to reload it between shots. The crossbow's advantage over the longbow is the much shorter time required to train a soldier in its use, and the smaller amount of specialised materials required to assemble it. Demesne Crossbowmen can make short work of even heavily armoured targets, but should keep out of the reach of cavalry.

Acquisition

Demesne Crossbowmen can be unlocked from the Ranged Infantry unit tree, where their node costs 2000 honour to unlock after prerequisites. This cost can be partially or fully defrayed using up to 20x Demesne Crossbowman's Signaculum.
