?== Description/Introduction ==+
? +
?== What does this unit counter? ==+
? +
?Most sword units in general.+
? +
?== 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.+
? +
?== General playstyle and general tips ==+
? +
?Those tips can be used when playing every infantry type listed below, but their effectiveness varies according to the type of infantry/faction being used.+
? +
?Most sword infantry has a high morale flank damage value. Use that to defeat and rout your enemies. They are potent in a melee fight.+
