Kamayuk layered spear formation
Kamayuk: Kamayuks can attack from behind one another, so a larger group can maintain pressure without every unit trying to occupy the same front rank. Their reach also helps around walls and against rams.
Overview
Kamayuk: Kamayuks can attack from behind one another, so a larger group can maintain pressure without every unit trying to occupy the same front rank. Their reach also helps around walls and against rams.
Plan and execution
Form the Kamayuks in a compact line behind a protected approach, then engage cavalry or a ram push where several units can strike together. Use the formation to hold a narrow gap or support a ranged line rather than scattering them across the map.
Risks and adaptation
The infantry line can be attacked from range or avoided by mobile units. Keep a screen against archers and do not chase cavalry so far that the formation loses its overlap.
