Infantry Spearman are melee infantry that deal hack damage in combat with significant bonuses against Cavalry, in addition to often being heavily armored. Although often slower than most infantry, they are much more sturdy and can quite easily chase away ranged units and especially ranged cavalry. They typically are used to simply obstruct and keep away enemy troops and cavalry from reaching your own vulnerable ranged units. They also excel like most units that deal hack damage, in tearing down enemy buildings and siege units. Promoted Citizen Infantry Spearmen receive upgrades to their attack, hitpoints and all of their armor - while decreasing their resource gathering abilities.

Infantry Spearmen are produced at both the Civilization Center and Barracks.
