| abstract | - "... like gray wolves, they lope in the field, seeking for themselves honor, and for their prince, glory." Once the Imperial Era is reached, the hitherto ineffectual Gridny heavy axemen can be upgraded into something more exciting: Berdishy Dvor or, "retinue bardiches". Although armed with somewhat antiquated weapons, these are still formidable heavies which are considered the personal retinue of a Kynaz. Unlike the Boyary whose power and strength are tied to the Kynaz by feudal contract, the Dvor are directly under the control of the resident Kynaz. Unlike normal Spear Sergeants, Berdishy Dvor are slow but extremely hard-hitting due to the reach of their weapons which is very useful for taking out packed formations of melee units, a;though they may be outranged by those who manage to raise Pikemen, although unlike Pikemen they can be trained without ever needed Centralisation (a tech which Russia cannot research) While it is true that they consequently have no ramp costs in food (for infantry) or wealth (for heavy cavalry), the fact is that the sheer metal cost blocks Russia's ability to upgrade its defensive strength, yet alone produce additional instances of these units for the battlefield. As such, these units may perhaps provide savings that can be pumped into Russian armoured militia or light cavalry, but are limited if not useless by the fact that one cannot amass sufficient numbers of these troops to fight. A good method, however, around this would be to trade resources with others. The most valuable trade partner would be Byzantium, whose infantry do not consume that much metal as Russian heavy units do.
