Tavern

Tavern is a neutral building that allows the player to hire crossbowmen.

Information
Tavern appears only once during the campaign - in the 4th mission of the Empire campaign, "Might of the Magi". Three crossbowmen are available by default, but "regenerate" rapidly as you purchase them. This allows for the production of an army consisting almost exclusively from crossbowmen, who are essentially an improved version of the Elf Ranger.

The Tavern is located not far from the Cathedral in the midst of other buildings, and can be easily missed. Some players will even play through the mission several times without ever realizing they can produce crossbowmen. It is also already garrisoned by a Peasant and can be operated immediately after the mission starts.

Crossbowman cost is 100 gold, 15 wood and 15 gems. They take up 2 supply.
