newmonster    "Hoburg Soldier"
descr         "As the Hoburg nation is getting more and more organized, so is their army.  Better armed and more organized than the militia, the soldiers provide more of a fight but is a nightmare to lead due to the logistics problems associated with any Hoburg army.  Not only are they dependent on the constant replenishment of their supplies, but the army will move painfully slow over any terrain.  It is often believed to be due to their small stature and short legs, but that notion has often been proved wrong when encountering Hoburghers in a fight.  A more likely reason for the slow pace is the many food stops.  On any given day the average Hoburgher will eat six meals, not counting snacks or informal get-togethers, or food eaten on the go.  There are many theories about the reason for the constant hunger of the Hoburgher, and some failed attempts at curing them.  Some believe it to be due to the magic deficiency present in many Hoburghers, a deficiency said to originate from an small portal inside them through which both food and magic are drained to another plane of existence.  This is of course nonsense and many learned scholars of today have concluded that they must be inhabited by a small daemonic parasite, much like the more mundane parasites that can be found in various cattle."
