? | == What does this unit counter? == | | + | |
? | | | + | |
? | Cavalry and sword units in general. | | + | |
? | | | + | |
? | == Counters to this unit type == | | + | |
? | | | + | |
? | The main units that counters spear is pikemen, ranged and artillery: they have a bonus against them and are therefore extremly effective in melee against them. They can also form a phalanx which will negate your charge and deal damage to your unit.<br/> | | + | |
? | | | + | |
? | A pike phalanx will counter infantry very effectively, in the same way as the hoplite phalanx.<br/> | | + | |
? | | | + | |
? | Finally, due to their somewhat slow speed they suffer from the same vulnerableties as sword infantry which is to missile fire, and artillery. | | + | |
