| Archers | |
|---|---|
| Key Abilities: Agility, Awareness, Marksmanship | |
| Archers are troops armed with Marksmanship weapons. Typically lightly armored to move about quickly, archers are useful for softening up a foe, but they tend to be vulnerable in close combat. | |
| Power Cost: +3 | |
| Discipline Modifier: +3 | |
| Cavalry | |
| Key Abilities: Agility, Animal Handling, Fighting | |
| Any unit that rides animals into battle counts as cavalry; thus, examples can include units of knights or bands of clansmen raiders mounted on garrons. Cavalry is often combined with other types. Dothraki raiders are units of cavalry raiders, while units of anointed knights are often cavalry crusaders. A cavalry unit that dismounts becomes infantry (though the cost does not change). Cavalry units use the Athletics and Endurance of their mounts in place of their own. | |
| Power Cost: +5 | |
| Discipline Modifier: –3 | |
| Criminals | |
| Key Abilities: Endurance, Fighting, Stealth | |
| Units made up of criminals are cheap to field but are unreliable at best. Usually, such forces are dispatched to the Wall to fight the wildlings, but on occasion, desperate lords may empty their dungeons to field additional troops. | |
| Power Cost: +1 | |
| Discipline Modifier: +6 | |
| Crusaders | |
| Key Abilities: Athletics, Endurance, Fighting | |
| Any troops formed around a political or religious cause count as crusaders. These zealots are fiercely loyal so long as they pursue their objective, but they are often undisciplined and difficult to control. | |
| Power Cost: +4 | |
| Discipline Modifier: +0 | |
| Engineers | |
| Key Abilities: Endurance, Fighting, Warfare | |
| These specialty units exist to circumvent enemy defenses, and on the battlefield, they work to tunnel through walls, assemble and operate siege weaponry, and fashion scaling ladders, pavanes, and a variety of other useful equipment. Engineers tend to be lightly armed and armored, making them vulnerable if attacked directly. | |
| Power Cost: +2 | |
| Discipline Modifier: +3 | |
| Garrison | |
| Key Abilities: Awareness, Endurance, Fighting | |
| A garrison is a unit of soldiers assembled to protect a community or fortification. Many garrisons perform double-duty as watchmen and enforce the lord’s peace. While often competent soldiers, garrisons are better at protecting their homes than fighting on a battlefield, a fact reflected in their poor morale when drawn into a more protracted war. When fighting on their lands, their Discipline Difficulty drops by –3. When away from their lands, their Discipline Difficulty increases by +3. | |
| Power Cost: +2 | |
| Discipline Modifier: -/+3 | |
| Guerillas | |
| Key Abilities: Athletics, Marksmanship, Stealth | |
| Another specialized force, guerillas are trained to fight in specific terrain, exploiting the lay of the land to give them a strategic advantage on the battlefield. As one would expect, guerillas are less useful when fighting outside of their preferred terrain. | |

| Discipline Modifier: +3 | |
| Infantry | |
| Key Abilities: Athletics, Endurance, Fighting | |
| The most common unit, infantry consists of the common foot soldiers that form the spine of any army. | |
| Power Cost: +4 | |
| Discipline Modifier: +0 | |
| Mercenaries | |
| Key Abilities: Athletics, Endurance, Fighting | |
| Mercenaries are soldiers hired to wage war, protect a fortification or community, or escort troops. While mercenary units are better trained, they are more expensive to field and can be unreliable in larger engagements. Mercenaries tend to fight better when they outnumber their foes. Special: Mercenaries are cheap to field in terms of Power, but they cost you in Wealth. Each unit of a particular training as shown reduces your Wealth. Green, +1; Trained, +3; Veteran, +6; Elite, +9. | |
| Power Cost: +1* | |
| Discipline Modifier: +3 | |

| Power Cost: +0* | |
| Discipline Modifier: +6 | |
| Personal Guards | |
| Key Abilities: Athletics, Endurance, Fighting | |
| One of the most expensive units in the game, a personal guard unit consists of expert warriors assembled to protect a commander, usually the noble that leads the force. A personal guard unit is disciplined and loyal and rarely breaks in battle. Special: A commander or sub-commander can attach himself to a personal guard unit and retain the ability to issue orders. | |
| Power Cost: +6 | |
| Discipline Modifier: –6 | |
| Raiders | |
| Key Abilities: Agility, Endurance, Fighting | |
| Ironmen, wildlings, and clansman raiders are an undisciplined lot, a fighting force driven by greed and bloodlust. Designed to hit opponents fast and hard to crush their defenses and plunder their holds, they are wholly unsuited to sieges and any extended battles. | |
| Power Cost: +3 | |
| Discipline Modifier: +3 | |
| Sailors | |
| Key Abilities: Awareness, Endurance, Stealth | |
| Whether pirates or smugglers, or members of the sea guard during the reign of the Mad King Aerys II, naval units include any force trained to fight at sea. | |
| Power Cost: +4 | |
| Discipline Modifier: +0 | |
| Scouts | |
| Key Abilities: Agility, Awareness, Fighting | |
| Scouts serve as the forward observers, spreading out to gain intelligence about enemy positions and bringing back the information to their commanders. Typical scouts are not exceptional warriors, though when combined with other types, they can be an effective addition to any force. | |
| Power Cost: +2 | |
| Discipline Modifier: +3 | |
| Special | |
| Key Abilities: Any three | |
| A special unit is a catchall for all other units. Special units tend to have a unique set of abilities and are formed to do a specific task, and do it well. | |
| Power Cost: +4 | |
| Discipline Modifier: +0 | |
| Support | |
| Key Abilities: Animal Handling, Endurance, Healing | |
| A labor force is a unit that specifically works to erect fortifications and construct equipment for the larger force, including arms and armor, while also providing food, new clothes, and even working as medics. Labor units are support troops and are exceptionally vulnerable to attack. In addition to their abilities, support units are trained in caring for equipment, erecting tents, cooking, cleaning, and more. | |
| Power Cost: +2 | |
| Discipline Modifier: +3 | |
| Warships | |
| Key Abilities: Awareness, Fighting, Marksmanship | |
| A unit of warships is a small fleet of combat vessels that can transport another unit into battle. To invest in a warship, you must have at least one domain with a coast, island, pond, lake, or river. Special: A commander or sub-commander can attach himself to a warship unit and retain the ability to issue orders. | |
| Power Cost: +7 | |
| Discipline Modifier: +0 | |
| City Guards | |
|---|---|
| Key Abilities: Awareness, Endurance, Survival | |
A city guard is a unit of soldiers assembled to protect a community. They perform as watchmen and enforce the lord’s peace. While often competent soldiers, they are better at protecting their homes than fighting on a battlefield, a fact reflected in their poor morale when drawn into a more protracted war. When fighting on their lands, their Discipline Difficulty drops by –2. When away from their lands, their Discipline Difficulty increases by +4. Each unit of City Guards you field reduces your Population resource by –1. Requirements: Must have Land Resource of Small Town or greater. Special: each unit of City Guards receives -1 Law per level of training
