Strategic Analysis

Tactical Identity

The **Versatile Anti-Cavalry**. A hybrid unit that scales automatically, allowing for smooth transitions without expensive upgrade costs.

Tactical Playbook

No Upgrades Needed

Their stats improve automatically upon reaching Castle/Imperial Age. You save resources on 'Man-at-Arms' or 'Pikeman' techs.

Hybrid Defense

In Feudal, they beat Scouts (bonus damage) and trade well vs other melee units. In Imp, they gain unblockable bonus damage vs Cavalry.

The Revolution

The Imperial Tech 'Flemish Revolution' instantly converts ALL villagers into Militia. Use this as a game-ending all-in button.

Critical Point

Weak to **Archers & Skirmishers**. Unlike Champions, they have the Spearman armor class, taking massive bonus damage from Skirmishers and Archers.

Understanding The Stats

A unit that evolves with you. Good base stats that scale, balanced by a specific vulnerability to anti-spear attacks.

Auto-Scaling

+Stats/Age

Feudal (Base) -> Castle (+10 HP, +3 Atk) -> Imp (+5 HP, +3 Atk, +1 Bonus).

Hybrid Armor

Spear Class

Possesses the Spearman Armor Class. This is their Achilles heel vs Skirmishers.

Imperial Tech

Revolution

Unique Tech allows instant conversion of economy into military. High risk, high reward.

Coach's Tip

Your auto-scaling is your biggest strength - no upgrade costs! Time your attacks right after aging up to catch enemies off guard with your free power spike.
