Hoplite (Total War)



The Hoplite is a light defense spearman unit of the Darknut Legion.

History
Darknut Hoplites were low level soldiers that only underwent minimal training as opposed to becoming a lifelong member of the Legion. Rather they served as city guards, national patrols, and emergency reinforcements to back up armies during wartime.

Role: Light Defense Spearman
Hoplites were armed with a spear, instantly setting them up for an anti-cavalry role. Their durable Darknut Shields also allowed them to block out some arrow fire and parry attacks, making them a rather defensive warrior.

Attributes

 * Long Reach (Bonus Damage against all Cavalry, immune to charges)
