Spanish pikeman with a long pike. This unit gets first strike ability due to it's very long pike. Cost=3 turns, built in castle, speed=3. Bonus against cavalry. Power=8.
First strike ability= when attacked by enemy units, the enemy units get counterattacked first before they damage the Tercios.

New proposal: A unit that can switch weapons between Arquebus and pike. Built in castle. High pierce armor in both stance and high normal armor in pike stance. Cost=4 turns.

Stats idea

for 3 turn unit switch stance, 25 hp and such extemly big armor is waaaay to much.
Either raise cost to 4-5 turns or lower stats. I think 16 hp (yes, lower than Voulgier), less armor (1/1 or 2/1 in both forms) and lower damage in arquebus form (12 at least, same as 2 turn unit) would be good enough.

I made a new sprite for him

Any idea for new stats? So Tercio will be a pike only unit with high bonus against cavalries and medium both armour.

Samuel check the other landschknet pikeman post were the ideas are better displayed

@COOLguy Can you merge this topics??

Tercio is more well armoured and expensive while landsknetch is cheaper and less armoured.

Well it sounds good but remember that landshneckt were elite mercenaries and well armored too

"Their status also suffered from the rising reputation of the dreaded Spanish tercios which, however, were far less abundant and more expensive to train."

Based from wikipedia.After 1560s the landsknetch reputation start to decrease in the Western Europe. The Spanish Tercios beaten them.

Well a century later the tercios disappeared too but landeshneckt werr no joke either, in 3 days I will make a sprite for the tercio pikeman

Give it +1 range for long Pike, much more strategic use.

Remember pikemen were really weak against proyectiles, they should have 1 pierce armor.

Is not very confortable to have a verry long pike and a shoot a musket. I would not do that.
