Peasants
|
Attack: 1
Defense: 1
Price: 100
|
Poor morale
Can sap
|
Most basic unit of all. However, it's useful if you want to "transfer population" from one settlement to another (Show me How).

Militia Hoplites
|
Attack: 5
Defense: 8
Price: 230
|
Can form phalanx
Bonus vs. cavalry
Poor morale
Can Sap
|
The Militia Hoplites act as the Town Watch - very useful outside of the battlefield, when you need someone to guard a town (leave at least 4 regiments of Militia Hoplites, they'll be okay), or on the battlefield, when you need to distract an enemy group, lure them into a trap or something.

Levy Pikemen
|
Attack: 6
Defense: 5
Price: 310
|
Can form phalanx
Bonus vs. cavalry
Poor morale
Very long spears
Can sap
|
These are also useful as peasants to "transfer population", but they cost more, so I guess they're pretty unnecessary - can be used only as Town Watch.

Attack: 7
Defense: 5
Price: 370
|
Can form wedge
Fast moving
Good morale
Powerful charge
|
If you want to achieve balance in your armies near the beginning of your game, use these together with Greek cavalry. They're both not powerful, remember. However when you get developped, better not use the first two at all.

The last attribute is totally unjust. These machines are priceless whe taking cities because they are able from a safe position to devastate enemy forces which are behind the walls, leading to panic. With luck and skill you can exterminate half the enemy army before going in.
