    Overview

    These militia-like soldiers can fight in harsh conditions and they are cheap defensive troops for the Pharaoh's armies.

    Armed with a long, thrusting spear and a large wooden shield, these men are primarily defensive and can hold their own against cavalry. However, they can also be formed into phalanxes and sent against other infantry. Their lack of training and armour means that they should not be used to attack armoured or elite troops.

    Nubian spearmen were originally recruited in the south, but since it is not uncommon for a Nubian soldier to be rewarded with land for his service, they can be found in every part of the Pharaoh's realms.

    Details

    Nubian Spearmen are the first Egyptian infantry that can be recruited after Peasants, and are very similar to Hellenic Militia Hoplites.

    These soldiers have numerous disadvantages such as being susceptible to missiles and having low morale, attack, and defense, which make them much less effective after the beginning of the game. Since they can quickly rout after being flanked or engaging in prolonged melee in a disrupted formation, Nubian Spearmen’s most potent ability in battle is their phalanx. Fortunately, Nubian Spearmen are also cheap and easy to recruit.
