Notes[edit | edit source]

While this unit has the same icon as Regular Spearmen from Kings & Conquerors: Hammurabi, its stats are most likely balanced between that unit and the Mesedi Spearmen used by the Hittite faction.

Some thoughts on unit stats:

  • Hurrian Heavy: is an averaging out between Anatolian Warriors and Mesedi Spearmen.
  • Mesedi: Same in stats to Heavy Spearman but differs in having lower armour and attack - these params are slightly better than Medium Spearman units, and this unit should be trained faster.
