Template:Infobox unit
A spearman
The spearman is the first pierce infantry unit in empire earth. It becomes available in stone age, and can also be used in copper age. In bronze age, it is replaced by the phalanx.
Stone age
The spearman appears in stone age to replace the clubman as an bulk of the force, being capable of defeating the clubman, thanks to it's pierce attack and shock armour. Slingers will make quick work of this unit, however.
Copper age
In the copper age, the spearman continues to work as an main soldier, but the improved stats of the maceman can prove to be a trouble to it. Simple bowmen are also very dangerous to it.
