'''Pikemen''' and '''Halberdiers''' are the level 1 [[creature]]s of [[Castle]]. They can be recruited from the [[Castle creature dwellings|Guardhouse]]. 

''"Pikemen and halberdiers are among the strongest basic foot soldiers available to any army. While somewhat slow, they have respectable combat ratings."{{-}}<sup>[[Restoration of Erathia Manual Page 85|RoE manual]]''</sup>

== Special ability ==
Although not mentioned in the game or manual, both Pikemen and Halberdiers are immune to [[Cavalier and Champion|Cavaliers' and Champions']] [[jousting]] ability. This means they suffer damage from Cavaliers or Champions normally, but do not receive the additional damage from jousting bonus (thus, the distance of Cavaliers and Champions attack doesn't matter).

In {{hota}}, the ability is present in the unit's description.{{-wh}}
