Spearman (Age of Empires II)

The Spearman is an infantry unit in Age of Empires II. it is a decent early anti-cavalry unit, but weak against virtually everything else. It is created at the Barracks in the Feudal Age and costs no gold, making it useful for an early choice if you are not gold-heavy. They are useful in preventing light cavalry charges, but against Castle Age cavalry such as knights, cavalry archers or the War Elephant you should upgrade to the more effective Pikeman.
