Special abilities:

• Double attack

Swordsmen and Crusaders are level 4 creatures of Castle. They can be recruited from Barracks.

"Well armed and armored, swordsmen and crusaders are better all-around foot soldiers than their pikemen companions. Crusaders deliver two blows per attack." ^{RoE manual}

Both are relatively slow troops, but especially Crusaders with their double strike have high capability of doing damage, being able to compete with level 5 and even level 6 units in terms of damage per unit. It's recommended to use crusaders to cripple lower tier enemy units, being sure to kill a good part of the stack.

Heroes with a specialty

Catherine the Knight and
Sorsha the Knight have swordsmen as a specialty, which increases the attack and defense skills of any swordsmen or crusaders for each level attained after 4th level and gives them a speed bonus of 1.
Roland the Knight's specialty is bugged so it affects crusaders only.
