Spearmen are the Iroquois unique Heavy Infantry of the 
Ancient Age that replaces the standard Hoplites.
Overview[]
Compared to Hoplites, Spearmen are statistically identical, but they lack the 12% damage penalty against buildings that Hoplites have, making them better for rushes.
Spearmen gain +1 movement speed while in friendly territory. They are also affected by an undocumented/hidden Iroquois nation power that gives them a 25% movement speed bonus while in friendly territory.
