    Overview

    Although generally fighting mounted, lancers can dismount when necessary. On foot, they fight as armoured swordsmen, and make effective infantry.

    Details

    While inferior to Dismounted Latinkon and Varangian Guard, Dismounted Byzantine Lancers are cheaper and are available earlier, meaning they are best suited for players without the infrastructure or strong economy needed to support armies consisting of the aforementioned units. Dismounted Byzantine Lancers are decent units with adequate attack and good defence stats. They can deal with most infantry except the most elite infantry, though will succumb quickly to heavy cavalry. While equal to Byzantine Infantry, Byzantine Dismounted Lancers do cost more to recruit and maintain.

    Their armour can be improved considerably, making them as tough as Dismounted Latinkon. They have good stamina and discipline. When fully upgraded, they are a very strong and cost effective infantry force.
