Hyksos Spearman

The Hyksos Spearman is the most basic combat unit in Anocris. They are weak fighters, but are used at low levels to attack nomad villages and at higher levels as combat fodder to keep more valuable troops from being killed in battle.

In-game description: The Hyksos are a militant people who live in the mountains northwest of the Great River. This is the area where fertile lands abruptly end, and a tiny stretch of hilly landscape merges into vast mountain ranges. Since fertile lands lay on the other side of the mountains, the Hyksos are constantly at war with their neighbors to procure goods and food that their barren land cannot produce. It is therefore not surprising that the Hyksos are mostly soldiers who often live from serving in the armies of foreign rulers. Since they are skilled in throwing spears and know no fear, they are often employed as foot soldiers whose task is to break the enemy lines.
