The Maya Holcan Spearman is similar to a [[Pikeman (Age of Empires III)|Pikeman]], but has more hit points and a greater siege attack, however, it is one of the slowest anti-building attacks of any infantry unit. Under some conditions, units with lower siege damage but the normal 3.0 attack speed will inflict more damage over time than the holcan spearman.

Overview

The Maya Holcan Spearman is similar to a Pikeman, but has more hit points and a greater siege attack, however, it is one of the slowest anti-building attacks of any infantry unit. Under some conditions, units with lower siege damage but the normal 3.0 attack speed will inflict more damage over time than the Holcan Spearman.

The Spanish and Aztec both have an infinite 30 holcan spearman card in the Industrial Age for 2000 coin (plus the shipment). They also can send a smaller shipment of holcan spearmen a single time in the Colonial Age for 500 coin. Aztec also have a one-time 24 holcan spearmen card for the Industrial Age for 1000 coin.

History

The word "Holcan" means "warrior." Maya warriors formed a separate class in their society. In battle they would often capture rather than kill enemy soldiers to provide slaves or human sacrifices. The Holcan used many different weapons including spears, slingshots, clubs, knives, and even bombs made of hornet's nests. In times of need Maya used a form of conscription to force farmers or others to become soldiers.
