They also have pilas, long throwing spears, in case those pesky horse archers are fighting them. They, like the Palace Guards, are easy to level to because all the troop levels before them are infantrymen or lesser Menavliatons.Huge stick with what is basically a sword blade on the end, usable as a spear or slashing weapon that can one-hit kill even good tier 5 line infantry.They are the last thing on earth melee cavalry wants to run into, as their weapons will very easily kill the horse and the rider.
They are so heavily armored that even ranged attacks will have to be pretty intense to kill them, especially in large numbers.If they get caught in close melee combat where their glaives cannot be used, they have an excellent one-handed sword they will use to great effect.This is the best line infantry the Imperials have to offer. They are high armor troops with a big shield and a one-handed sword. If you are using a shield wall strategy, you’d be wise to take a lot of these guys along with you. There is no more defensively useful unit in the game.
