**Soldiers** are combined with [Siege Weapons](https://siegequest.gitbook.io/siegequest/gameplay/siege-weapons) in order to form Armies, which allow players to [Attack Strongholds](https://siegequest.gitbook.io/siegequest/gameplay/attacking-strongholds) and win $SIEGE. Recruiting (Minting) soldiers requires $SIEGE. However, not every Soldier will have the same pedigree. Better Soldiers will have more Siege Power (SP) which is used to attack higher level Strongholds. Below are the odds of Recruiting different quality Soldiers:

Soldiers can be Discharged (Burned) for 20% of the minting cost, paid in $SIEGE.&#x20;

**Example:** A low-quality soldier is recruited, such as Villager (1-24 SP), players have the option to Discharge the Villager in exchange for 20% of the minting fee.&#x20;

**Hint:** The average recruited Soldier will have 32 SP.
