History Edit
"Lords of the Middle Ages had the ability to call up their vassals and the peasant militia for limited service. Conscription was the next evolution in acquiring men for military service. It allowed a lord to put men into military service for an extended period, not just a few months of campaigning each year. In some parts of the world, a man might be conscripted for many years of service."
