Pikeman

(image)

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.A Pikeman has the Formation ability; its physical resistances are increased by 10% when it is adjacent to another unit with this ability.
