The pikeman is a basic unit armed with a spear. It is one of the few starting units, and thus requires no gems to unlock. It is cheap and very effective against mounted units, although it is easily dispatched by virtually any other fighting unit, as well as defensive structures such as watch towers. It can be built in both the barracks and town center. It upgrades to halberdier upon inventing the "Pikeman to Halberdier" tech in the barracks. Similarly, it is effected by "Infantry Armor (1 and 2)" and "Sword Mastery (1 and 2)" techs invented at the blacksmith.
