[[File:Haiduc.jpg|thumb|A haiduc]]Using the terrain around the Kingdom was necessary for the Army, as it had thick forest to the north, to the west a river line and then more forests and to the south the old Acquindavian mountains. This presented the small nation with much protection and with an opportunity. Why not use the natural terrain against our enemies. As such the "Haiducs" Doctrine iswas built on the guerilla warfare doctrine. Avoiding open confrontation against our enemies, attacking the enemythem in the forests, while they movewere moving and/or while they stopwere stoping for a rest, in small 3-4 groups of 3-4 soldiers. The Gen. 3 Hoes were incredibly fast, and deadly, if the enemy wasn't prepared and, as such, the tactic proved useful and effective.

Haiduc is the Romanian equivalent of Robin Hood. They existed during the transition from the medieval ages to modern times, as many of thethem had guns. They lived in forests and useused to attack the rich and fight the police force at that time. They were rebels fighting against the rule of the Ottoman Empire. One revolt they were known for was the 1821 national revolution in Wallachia, led by Tudor Vladimirescu.

Though the Hoes proved effective in offensive battles, being able to tear down defenses, they would find usage in the defense as well. Still being a hoe, and as such a good gardening tool, it could still plow the land. This in combination with some water, created mud, effectively slowing down most enemy advances. The "Valerian" Doctrine based on that fact alone. Using the Battle Hoes, the land will bewas made into mud and when the enemy is to comecame, they will getgot stuck in the mud, them being at the mercy of the armiesarmy's arrows/cannons. This however could be easily prevented if the land was either sand/stone, but the Cresvlitsin Plains and most of Prospit being fertile soil, resulted in this tactic becoming a favorite amongst the defense generals of the Kingdom.

Even a more common sight on the battlefield, these short hoes, proved to be effective in the hands of conscripts and cadets. Wielded in combination with a shield, these battle hoes were perfect in open combat. Fast and small, yet packing nearly the same punch as a double handed version, they were amazing in CQC. In duels, they were used either in akimbo version or rarely in single version. If used in the single version, they were always accompanied with another weapon, or, if not, the warrior would use fast and light attacks to wear down the opponent.
