Rhodok Trained Spearmen are melee troops of the Kingdom of Rhodoks.

These units have been significantly improved in between original game and Warband. Originally they were armed with one-handed spears and shields only, making them highly resistant to missiles but nearly useless in close combat. That way, they were nearly useless, almost impossible to upgrade unit with no real place in combat. Adding them a two-handed Pike and a helmet was one of the best improvements made in Warband.

Tactics

Rhodok Trained Spearmen are best used against mounted units, due to the pikes and spears they carry.

Compared to the Rhodok Spearmen, they are only slightly more skilled. They do carry better armor and a guaranteed shield, but their lack of a short reach weapon means they are not that strong against infantry.

They can be made more efficient by setting up a phalanx.
