WHich of these spearmen do you prefer? Holkan, Impi or Spearman?
Impis nice for HA rushes, promoted with shock they can secure your horsies from spears.
The best spearman was the vanilla phalanx.
true, there is a nice synergy there with mounted, My....like Mouseketeers/Curs, if you actually have metals and horses when rushing
it's a very flexible unit. Too bad it's movement points don't stay as it upgrades - a mobility pike with 1 move -> not very useful
Pros attach GGs to their infantry and promote them with Morale.
I like the Impi best too, because although the Holkan is solid for early barb defence, you still need axes/chariots when barb axes come popping up and the Impi is usable for combat with the AIs too.
Only +25 hill defense.
It had also 5 strength.
Well yeah, but how many GGs are you going to have, vs how many Infantry?
Pro's get machine guns in the BCs, promote them to drill 4 and declare war on Shaka and Monty simultaneously to farm GGs.
Spoiler :I'm being ironic, both in this post and the previous one, in case you didn't get it yet
