Spearman

Spearmen are cheapest Unit you can spawn. They have ridiculously weak attack but provide good gold to health conversion rate making them good in delaying enemy. If you have good income or really need to not lose ground and can afford it, consider using their heavy brothers instead. Ranged attacks slaughter them easily, so do not expect much from them when storming enemy Castle or fighting Archers. Horsemen take extra damage from them, but if you do not swarm them, they might still win just with their better stats alone.
