}}'''{{PAGENAME}}''' are a rustic era [[buckler shield]] melee infantry [[units|unit]].

==In-Game Description==
<i>Serfdom is the social status of the lowest members of a medieval society: Since they have no wealth other than their own labour, serfs are obliged to work on the lands of their lord, providing him with a share of their produce in return for military protection and a measure of justice. Serfs are among the most basic infantry units: their combat potential against anything other than other serfs is minimal, but their real strength lies in their ability to collect resources as part of an army on the march.</i>

==Acquisition==
Serfs can be obtained for free from the Melee Infantry Unit Tree.

==Tips & Trivia==
*As the traits suggest, Serfs deal very little damage and will lose to almost every other unit in the game. In battles, they function best as a filler unit to push siege towers and battering rams (although [[Martellatori]] are more useful for that purpose once obtained).
*Serfs have the highest labour in the game when levelled. For resource collectors, it is suggested to recruit multiple units of serfs to maximize production.
