Spear Thrower



Ev Digg's Thoughts:

Typical weak ranged troop similar to Greek or Persian Archers. It is cheap, but the speed of 5 puts it at a disadvantage when compared to longbowmen and crossbow captains who have speed 6 and will therefore attack before these do each round. Ranged troops in general can offer support for stronger troops in front of them, and as long as enemy attacks are being absorbed by troops in front of them the comparably weak damage they inflict can add up to substantial damage as the number of rounds continues to increase. As with other weak ranged troops be cautious when using these against enemy Goddesses - they could do your side more harm than good if they trigger the enemy Goddesses to resurrect more of themselves than your Spear Throwers actually kill.
