Angry Mob

Overall strategy
They are angry peasants armed with stones, with a range of 3-5 with low accuracy. Angry Mobs are usually found only in two sets of nations:


 * Factions with vast reserves of manpower, so this includes India as well as China, along with the Arabs,
 * Factions with a strong religious fervour. This includes Japan, most Christian nations as well as the Arabs.

While they are even cheaper to train than Peasant Levy, don't expect to rely on them for defence -- they are worse than Peasant Levies due to their inability to damage Forts and Towers, and are easy prey for armoured units, as well as cavalry. Equally, they cannot be selected by clicking with your mouse (this was intentional). One method of rushing them would probably be to locate your enemy's city, place the rally point of your settlement near the town, and then begin spam-building Angry Mobs to march there once you have set their unit stance to whichever setting you desire.

Unit summary

 * Rowdy &mdash; Angry Mobs cannot garrison Towers and Forts, and also cannot be clicked or selected with your mouse.
 * An Unworthy Foe &mdash; Angry Mobs can't be attacked directly, so the best units that you should use against them would be ranged cavalry.
