Territorial Army
Territorial Army is a Chinese Fortress Age military package containing three Changdao Swordsmen and three Arquebusiers. The six-unit group can be trained at a War Academy, Blockhouse, Fort, Fuchuan or American Citadel. It costs 285 Food and 255 Coin, occupies six population and takes 29 seconds to train. Its composition pairs close-combat swordsmen with ranged gunpowder infantry, providing a combined group rather than a single unit type.

Role, availability & values
Use the Changdao Swordsmen to engage at close range and protect the Arquebusiers while the latter fire. Maintain enough space for the ranged component to attack and avoid sending the swordsmen so far ahead that the gun line cannot support them. Because the package commits six population, leave room for reinforcements and other army roles.

Matchup & timing
Select Territorial Army when the Fortress Age army benefits from a balanced melee and ranged reinforcement. It can add multiple roles quickly through Chinese production, but the package may be inefficient if only one component is needed. Check the opponent’s army and the current population limit before choosing it over a more specialized option.
Definitive Edition training-time change
The current Fortress Age package costs 285 Food and 255 Coin, uses six population and trains in 29 seconds. Before the Definitive Edition it took 33 seconds. The current value belongs with the present three-Changdao-Swordsman and three-Arquebusier composition; older guides may use the longer training time.
