Well armored Pikemen made up of Scottish nobles preferring to fight in the infantry.
Overview
Since Scottish armies cannot field cavalry to match the English knights, they have found other ways to neutralize this threat, such as rows of brave men with long steel pointed sticks. These well trained, although sometimes reckless clansmen are armed with pikes, allowing them to present English knights with a wall of pointy death.
Details
Encased in plate armor and armed with pikes these Scottish nobles are an excellent counter to heavy cavalry. Best used in a defensive role these troops are an excellent choice for defending cities and castles as they can plug any street or gap in the defenses with an impassable wall of pikes.
