Royal Heavy Spears
Recruitable from the Reiksfort. smithy is required to recruit them.
The Royal Altdorf Spears have a purpose on the field unlike most other high tier units in the game. Unlike greatsword or swordmasters this unit does not do well when trying to kill units quickly, or high armoured infantry much at all. If you want a great anvil for hammering enemy troops against or a solid wall to protect your artillery or crossbowmen this is the type of frontline unit you want. My unit will lose to a greatsword but the idea is that it will take long enough that your "tools" on the battlefield can do their job before that happens.
This unit has high enough armour and melee defence that low tier units will not be able to touch them. Empire swords/skeletons/crypt ghouls/ungor spears/and high elf spearmen (just to name a few) will do nothing against the Royal Heavy Spears.
The Royal Heavy Spears upkeep is 265 (the screenshot is with upkeep reduction) compaired to the greatswords 237 just to give perspective. They also cost 1100 to recruit compaired to greatswords 950.
"These men make up the heavy spearwall that defends the empire and all of its provinces, for they are not willing to budge against the endless hordes that are the empires enemies" – unit description
This is my first mod and I am glad to hear any ideas/feedback and let me know if you run into any issues, i have play tested them in custom battles alot but my limited play test in campaign might prove to be an issue. So please let me know.
Thanks for trying the mod and I hope you have fun with the new way to do battle.
Special thanks to Crux2 for giving me the guide i used to make this mod, check out his workshop.
