?== Counters to this unit type ==+

?The main units that counters infantry 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 speed, infantry is vulnerable to missile fire, and especially artillery.+
