Overview
These well trained spearmen are the mainstay of many Egyptian armies, thanks to their all-round defensive abilities. They wear light padded armour - hardly surprising given the incredibly hot climate of home - and carry large shields. They do not carry secondary weapons at all, and rely entirely on their spears in combat. This means that they are best employed to hold a defensive position against cavalry, or as a rough phalanx to take on other infantry by 'push of pike' and weight of numbers.
These men are better trained than some other Egyptian forces, such as Nubian spearmen, and will hold more often as a result.
Details
Nile Spearmen are a decent mid tier unit the equivalent to the standard Hoplites of the Greek Cities but with a combat bonus in deserts. Nile Spearmen are good as a acceptable front line for Egypts armies and can continue this role well into the late campaign, their strengths allows them to hold their own in the mid campaign. Nile Spearmen will start to stuggle as the campaign goes on and other factions will start to recruit stronger units.
Overall while the Nile Spearmen are a better unit then the Nubian Spearmen and can still have their uses into the late campaign they will struggle against stronger units and some of their contemporaries but in general quite a decent unit to use.
