King Wutugu Polearm Infantry

Nanzhong Spearmen

As one of the greatest war-leaders of the Nanman, Meng Huo understands the importance of spears in battle.

Provided with sufficient armour to give them the confidence to enter the fray and a sturdy two-handed metal-tipped spear, these warriors will serve well in either defensive or offensive capacities. A well-braced line of spearman can even stand firm against a cavalry charge.

Unit Abilities

• Miasma
  The dense and tough undergrowth that plagues the jungles of the South is a hindrance to all those who try to penetrate into the heartlands of the Nanman.
• Hollowed Square
  The unit forms into a hollow square, presenting spears and pikes to any attacker - particularly cavalry - on all four sides.
• Loose
  The unit spreads apart, making it more difficult for arrows to hit them.
• Spear Wall
  The unit presents a wall of spear-points to the enemy - a strong formation that allows the unit to advance slowly but safely whilst defending against charges.

Attributes

• CHARGE REFLECTION VS. MOUNTED
  Reflects the charge damage of any mounted attacker back onto them when braced.
• HIDE IN FOREST
  Can hide in forests.

Strengths & Weaknesses

• Role: anti-cavalry
  These units are strong against flanking units such as cavalry, so are best used to protect vulnerable flanks.
• Good against mounted
  This unit is trained to fight against mounted enemies.
• Weak against missile attacks
  This unit is unshielded and therefore has little defence against missile attacks.
