"Spearman (Level 1-2): Spears were hunter/gatherer weapons that came early to the battlefield. They're basic but effective against most troops."

"Pikeman (Level 3-5): As mounted heavily armored troops came into more common use spears grew longer and became pikes designed to help dismount enemy cavalry."

"Halberdier (Level 6-9): Halberds were large battle axe like weapons. They had thrusting points, cutting blades and a hook that could be used to dismount enemy knights."

Summary

  • Spearmen are basic melee soldiers, unlocked from the Level 1 Barracks.
  • Spearmen are also known as Pikemen or Halberdiers depending on the upgrade level.
  • Spearmen have a damage bonus against cavalry. Deploy spearmen to protect vulnerable troops such as archers and siege weapons from mounted troops.
  • Bonus against cavalry.
  • Too slow to make a difference, can be traded out for Grenadiers.

Offensive Strategy

  • Drop them right on top advancing Mamluks!
  • Drop them in a corner to draw out cavalry, while Belisarius tunnels under a wall (works with other troops).
  • Place in front of other advancing troops to mediate cavalry on your main attack.

Note: From Age 7 Grenadier is better against Cavalry (and against Knight Templar and against Mamluk)

Defensive Strategy

  • Station in spots you want to defend from cavalry.
