Note: Troops have a set of default stats; at the beginning of a new game, these stats are randomly adjusted for each type of troop. The following is the default set for this troop as seen within the game code and may not reflect the specific stats you will see during actual gameplay. For more information, see Troop stats.
These troops share their name with Nogai, a hero in With Fire & Sword.
The Nogais most likely hail from the Nogai Horde, a confederation of several Turkic and Mongol peoples living east of the game map, in northern Dagestan. Historically, the Nogai Horde was allied to the Crimean Khanate, and frequently raided Russian settlements alongside Crimeans.
