Short description

Spearmen provide effective defence against cavalry, but are vulnerable to missiles because of their close-packed ranks.

Description

These mercenaries are spearmen, though their lack of armour and training means they can't match most professional infantry. They carry a 2m long spear and a large shield.

Many of these mercenaries would once have been peasants or urban poor recruited into the standing army of an Eastern kingdom; with no homes to return to, they have taken to a life of soldiering.

While they may be numerous, they are often not well paid by their captains, and their motivation can be a little bit suspect. Individually they are not skilled fighters, but as a group they can be used to hold a line against lighter cavalry and lower-quality infantry.
