    Overview

    Literally meaning two hander’s, in German, in reference to the grip needed to wield their massive swords. Zweihanders are very heavily armoured foot troops who can cut a bloody swathe through nearly all infantry they will encounter. This unit is deployed by the Holy Roman Empire and often forms the vanguard when assaulting enemy battlelines.

    Details

    Wielding a massive, two-handed sword, the Zwei Hander unit is ideal for charging into the enemies' front line or for for flanking enemy units. Their distinct advantage is their charge, so it would be wise not to let them get charged while idle. Their metal armour means that they are well protected against missiles, though it does not help much in defence, as the massive, two-handed sword that they carry are less effective when defending. With this in mind, they should not be placed on walls, where their charge is nullified. While they have a lower attack than the Forlorn Hope, another unit carrying two-handed swords, they are a lot cheaper to maintain.
