Spearmen

TACTICAL ANALYSIS
In the early stages a couple of squads of these can be crucial protection for your Archers, preventing enemy melee rushes. Also, ironically enough these can be one of the more endurant squads compared to others due to a rather non-obvious reason; their wide narrow line formation is so spread out that no single attack (be it Grenadier shot, Ranger shot, Fireball, etc excluding massive-area ones like Meteor and Lightning Storm) can kill them; even with an unlimited damage blast the squad is so spread out that some of the troops will always be missed, so they will ALWAYS take at least two shots with a bit of spacing time between them to kill. No other troop, even Imperials, can claim the same. However, due to their painfully slow speed they are utterly useless on the attack and will soon be outmatched on the defense.
