The Royal Crossbowman, also called Crossbowman of the Kingsguard is a powerful melee attacker that can be recruited either when one of the alliance members captured and built a capital or when the player reached the glory title The Terrible. It is much more powerful than the Veteran Heavy Crossbowman in its base form, but weaker than the Imperial Bowman in terms of attack power.
Other than recruiting, this unit can also be acquired by:
- Finishing missions from the mercenary post.
- Finishing (1) quests in the Quest Book, and (2) Event-only quests in The Blade Coast, Underworld, and Thorn King.
- Reaching 1000 might points. (only once)
