Pikeman

Please try editing in [[Stronghold Wiki:Sandbox]] before you start to edit articles

The Pikeman (or more correctly "Halberdier", as he carries a "Halberd" not a "Pike") is an exceptional unit in defense, as his ability to take large amounts of damage allow him to block access to parts of defending castles longer than most other units.

He has decent speed, good protection from arrows (in normal circumstances he takes 50 Archer arrows to kill). He also has the best protection from crossbow bolts, taking 17 versus the Swordsman's 12, as well as having a decent attack strength. He proves useful for filling in/digging moats even under ranged attack.

Pikemen require pikes and armor to produce, and cost 20 gold to train. Pikes are produced at the Poleturner's Workshop, while Armor is produced at the Armorer's Workshop.
