The '''Villager''' is the worker unit, trained at the [[Town Hall]]. Villagers gather resources, construct buildings and repair them. The Town Hall offers two train buttons, '''Male Villager''' and '''Female Villager'''; the two have identical statistics and costs and differ only in body and voice.

Villagers count as '''workers''' on the population display; every other unit counts as '''army'''.

== Work ==
A villager's current job is shown on its unit panel next to its name. The jobs the game names are:
* Woodcutter
* Stone Miner
* Gold Miner
* Gold Panner
* Forager
* Farmer
* Hunter
* Fisher
* Builder
A villager keeps its last job label while it stands idle. While it carries a load, its panel shows a ''Carrying:'' line with the resource and the amount. See [[Resources]] and [[Gathering]] for gather rates and carry sizes.

== Combat ==
* '''Damage per hit:''' 4, before the target's armour. The target subtracts its armour from each hit, and every hit deals at least 1 (see [[Damage types]]).
* '''Attack cooldown:''' 2 seconds between attacks (about 2.0 damage per second before armour).
* '''Range:''' 1.2 m. Range is measured to the edge of the target, not its centre, so a unit standing against a large building is in range of it.
* '''Melee:''' a strike needs a clear line to its target. A wall segment or gate standing on the straight line between this unit and its target stops the strike, and the unit tries to approach again instead of striking through it.
* '''Against buildings:''' 25% of its damage. Only siege units (other than the Ballista) deal full damage to buildings.
* '''Auto-engage radius:''' 9 m. On the Aggressive [[Stances|stance]], a unit looks for enemies on its own out to 9 m or its own range, whichever is larger.
* '''Sight:''' at least 15 m. Every unit sees at least its range plus 2 m, so it is never firing at something its side cannot see.
* '''Bonuses:''' its attack is raised by the owner's Combat Offense [[Disciplines|Discipline]]. No [[Callings|Calling]] damage bonus applies to the villager role.
* '''Damage type:''' None. In the current build the damage type is a label shown on the unit panel; it does not change the damage dealt (see [[Damage types]]).

== Training ==
* '''Trained at:''' [[Town Hall]].
* '''Cost:''' 50 food. The cost is paid when the unit is queued. Cancelling a queued or in-progress unit refunds the full cost.
* '''Train time:''' 12 seconds. Training-speed bonuses from the owner's [[Callings|Calling]] and [[Disciplines]] shorten it; no unit trains in under 0.5 seconds.
* '''Population:''' 1. Training is refused when living units plus everything already queued in all of the player's buildings, plus this unit, would pass the population cap.
* A building holds at most 5 units in its training queue.

== Notes ==
* The two villager rows are '''Villager_Male''' and '''Villager_Female''' in the game data. Their numbers are the same in every column.
* Villagers have a weak attack and can be ordered to attack, but they are not soldiers: 0 armour and the lowest hit points of any trainable unit.
