Unit Background
The Doppelsoldner are an elite infantry unit hailing from the ranks of mercenaries in the Holy Roman Empire during the late 15th and early 16th centuries. Named for the heavy two-handed swords they bore and the double wages they earned, these warriors fought on the very front lines, risking their lives for twice the pay of ordinary mercenaries.
Founded by Emperor Maximilian I to counter the famed Swiss mercenaries, the unit was composed primarily of seasoned veterans. Their weapon—the flamberge two-handed greatsword—measured up to 180 centimeters in length and weighed over 3.5 kilograms, specially crafted and carried wrapped in leather for protection.
It is said that these double-pay mercenaries wielded their immense swords to break through pike formations, particularly those of the Swiss. With mighty swings, they shattered spearheads or swept aside pikes, striking directly at the enemy and collapsing their ranks.
