Hungarian Black Army Showcase

Introducing the Hungarian Black Army of Matthias Corvinus. The most powerful mercenary army of 15th-century Europe!

Armati
The Armati heavy infantrymen stood alongside the Clipeati and were ordered not to yield a single inch to enemy assaults. With will and armor, they made sure the defensive line of pavises were never to be breached.

Arquebusier
Learning from the successes of gunpowder from the Hussite wars, the Black Army hired 20% of their men to be Arquebusiers. They fired upon the enemy formations from the safety of their pavise walls, withering away any who got too close.

Clipeati
The Clipeati carried large heavy pavises to battle to form an impenetrable wall of wood, metal, and men. They manned their shields to repel any assaults with the help of their Armati comrades.

Light Infantry
Light Infantry laid await deep inside the Black Army's defensive formation for the opportunity to sally out. When the enemy presented a weak point in their formation, the Light Infantry burst out in a furious charge to break the enemy.

Armigeri
Skilled, disciplined, and professional, these mercenary knights from Germany and Bohemia flocked to the Matthias I for gold and glory.
