yeomen

In most of historical warfare, noblemen fought noblemen, yeomen fought yeomen, and peasants fought peasants.

My favorite example is Jack Point from Yeomen of the Guard [0]: Point: Oh, thoughtless crew!

Capable yeomen can become men-at-arms, men-at-arms can be knighted, knights can become commanders and maybe given a barony, on so on.

This is ‘mission command’ and violating it and micromanaging my Yeomen is a real taboo.

The longbow armies of Wales and England were made up of yeomen, who were certainly well into the upper end of medieval society.

Us yeomen expect that you can just pick those off the ground.

Definitely gotta give you guys a standing ovation for yeomen's work.

I lost days of personal time talking to yeomen, chiefs and officers just because every other check was late or missing.

Frontend and backend code are kept separately for now and I use Yeomen for assisting frontend development and it works fine.

Including the pressure to turn surviving yeomen into vassals (see, e.g.

Can somebody please convince me why I would want to switch to yeomen?

Supposedly Yeomen is supposed to drop soon, which- I'm just guessing- is a bunch of inits and tasks built on Grunt to accomplish more.

Ime the asiatic cases the "jesus nut" of the system (sovereign, policemen, yeomen, lawyers, judges, etc) are drawn from a single caste.

> "the middle class" I assume small landholders, yeomen etc.

For, as a rule, hoplites were freeholders and yeomen -- military service was a matter of social class and social standing -- they were not conscripted and sorted as though they were 18th century Austrians or Prussians: "Tall men to the halberdiers, short men to the artillery, giants to the Potsdam Giants." That wasn't the way of the Hellenes, and they wouldn't stand for it.

Are there any other similar projects out there (aside from Yeomen)?
