New Order Spearmen are the Russian version of Pikeman. There is also a second version of the New Order Spearman — the Marksman Spearman.
Tactics[]
The heaviest infantry troop of the Muscovite Tsardom, New Order Spearman must be considered as light infantry in battle. Though they have skills comparable to German Infantry Pikeman, New Order Spearmen lack any substantial armor. They have much the same equipment as the Marksman Spearman, with additional gloves and helmet. In battle, New Order Spearmen can do a significant amount of damage, but they take punishment poorly and die easily for a troop of this level.
Stats and equipment[]
