Alabardero
Alabardero is the final shared Lancero-line upgrade, giving infantería a stronger response to late-game caballería. It is an efficient defensive screen, but its low mobility and limited reach make positioning and support essential. (Lancero, mounted unidades)
Resumen
Alabardero is the final shared Lancero-line upgrade, giving infantería a stronger response to late-game caballería. It is an efficient defensive screen, but its low mobility and limited reach make positioning and support essential. (Lancero, mounted unidades)
Effect and affected unidades
Research at the Cuarteles to upgrade eligible Pikemen into Halberdiers. The final spear stage is valuable against repeated caballería engagements and can protect fragile a distancia or asedio unidades. It is less effective when forced to chase archers or fight without support against mixed armies. (Alabardero, Piquero, Alabardero, Alabardero, unidades)
Research cost and timing
Complete the upgrade when caballería is likely to remain a major part of the enemy army and your economía can fortaleza producing the line. Its value declines if the opponent has abandoned caballería, so scout the army and compare the investment with a unit type that addresses the current threat. (Edad Imperial, Cuarteles, unidades)
Efecto y momento de investigación
La mejora de Alabardero es el último ascenso compartido de la línea de lanceros y fortalece su respuesta contra unidades montadas. Efecto: Piquero → Alabardero. Está disponible en la Edad Imperial y se investiga en el Cuartel. Priorízala antes de un gran enfrentamiento si tu ejército depende de esa línea; la producción sin unidades suficientes quizá no compense. (mounted unidades, Cuarteles)
