    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 for a mid campaign front line unit for Egypts armies and their strengths allows them to hold their own against most other units with little support. Nile Spearmen will start to stuggle as other factions will start to recruit stronger units however the Nile Spearmen are still a upgrade compared to Nubian Spearmen and with aid from other units in the army have their uses into the late campaign.

    They will struggle against some of their stronger contemporaries but in general they can be considered a strong frontline unit that can hold their own and provide Egypt with a decent hoplite unit.
