Pikeman/Stronghold 2 & Legends

Pikemen are heavily armored units with high health. Their armor affords them adequate protection from arrows and crossbow bolts, and also high survivability in melee combat.
A pikeman requires a free peasant from the campfire, 1 pike, 1 piece of metal armor stored in the armory and 2 honor with a sum of 20 gold to recruit.
== Tactics ==
Pikemen perform superb in tying up units at narrow chokes and inside buildings. While somewhat slow and dealing fairly low damage, they have very high health and could be considered an inferior version of the swordsman. Their high health allows them to survive castle hazards such as rolling logs and Man Traps.
