Pikeman

Pikemen are a key part of any Ceresian infantry contingent. Their long pikes allow them to fend off attacks with impunity, and when arrayed in battle formation they are a fearsome foe. But while they have a number of different roles, many would say that their real purpose is to protect the Ceresians' renowned crossbowmen.

Special Notes: The length of this unit’s weapon allows it to strike first in melee, even in defense. This unit works well with other units who can move in formation. When adjacent to such units, this unit will take reduced damage from physical attacks.
