Overview
The final shared Spearman-line upgrade, with greater strength against mounted units.
Effect and affected units
Halberdier changes upgrades Pikeman to Halberdier. The affected target is Halberdier; the bonus does not automatically apply to the rest of the roster. This is the main reason to research it; compare the affected units with the army you expect to field.
Research cost and timing
Research is available in Imperial Age at the Barracks. The recorded cost is not separately recorded, and the research time is not separately recorded. Consider whether the upgrade will affect enough units or workers to repay that investment before the match is decided.
