Their heavy pike and metal armor make pikemen slower to move but also make them the ultimate defensive unit. They are able to take a lot of damage and are ideal for blocking access to areas of the castle. Although they are slower than macemen, pikemen are still much faster than swordsman. This makes them also a decent choice for attacking castles as they can reach the enemy much quicker. Their speed advantage and high hitpoints make theme excellent at dealing with burning pitch, as they don't burn down immediately and can get out of the flames in time.
