Ghulam
Hindustani unique infantry. High speed and pierce armor with a pass-through attack. Anti-Archer specialist.
Tactical Briefing
The Ghulam is a 'High-Speed Snowplow'. Designed to rush headlong into arrow fire, it takes minimal damage from archers thanks to high pierce armor (3/6). Its lance pierces through the primary target to hit the unit behind it. Use them to sweep away massed Crossbows or Eagles.

Strategic Analysis
The **Archer Sweeper**. Faster than Champions and tankier vs arrows than Huskarls in some aspects due to speed.
- Pass-Through: Deals 100% damage to the main target and 50% to the unit directly behind. Deadly vs clumped formations.
- Shield & Spear: With 6 Pierce Armor (Elite), they ignore Skirmisher fire completely and mitigate Arbalesters significantly.
- Raiding: Their speed allows them to raid economies effectively, especially since they resist Town Center fire well.
Warning: Weak to **Knights** and **Champions**. They lack bonus damage vs Cavalry and lose the raw stats war against heavy melee units.
