Pikemen - First deployed
by the Swiss in the 15th century, Pikemen come to the game in the Medieval Age.
The Swiss Pikes ended the dominance of the mounted horsemen, standing sometimes
as many as 150 men deep on the battlefield, brandishing lengthy staffs to abate
the ride of the cavalry.

Phalanx - Perhaps
the best known infantry formation in the history of warfare, the Phalanx makes Heavy
Infantry stronger and more resilient in the Classical Age. The real-world domination
of the Phalanx on the battlefield lasted 200 years; you may find your Phalanxes
similarly effective in-game in their time.
