Aof humans came to world of aos to make fame and money (as they look like aof elite warrior/archer)

I suppose that'll work...

Just thought "Partisan" is more unique than a mere merc.

Which in AoS, labels units that will leave you if you don't pay them.

This is one quality, that I've come to dislike.

As for time pd... Any time between 1100s to reniassance, they participated in all revolutions. Even after, but then, they used guns and small melee weapons then.

@COOLguy please advise and accept unit if u like - thanks!

@Endru1241 , this one's been hanging out for a while... Thoughts?

The only partisan i know is the type of spear

The only partisans i know are these:

Seeing as the most distinctive thing about this unit is being archer and melee type, I would use the name of units from bulgarian culture.
Most common militia was composed of exactly light infantry using bows before melee battle.
In Volga-Bulgaria they were aydars or by simplifying they could be named birigs, as they were in fact that.
Just to add some information - they existed across 7th-13th century, maybe a little longer in proper Bulgaria.
Both countries, while being turkish in origin, had huge percentage of slavs and were finally slavicized.
