Poor Cossack Pikemen (veteran) are the upgraded militia pikemen of the Cossack Hetmanate.

Tactics[]

Even as veterans, Cossack Pikemen are still cheap but inefficient fighters, so they should not be relied on heavily. Letting them attack directly is not advised, because they can be killed by a single bullet or die fighting enemies in melee. As with other pikemen, they are best used protecting ranged infantry against enemy cavalry.

Stats and Equipment[]

Note: Troops have a set of default stats; at the beginning of a new game, these stats are randomly adjusted for each type of troop. The following is the default set for this troop as seen within the game code and may not reflect the specific stats you will see during actual gameplay. For more information, see Troop stats.
