Imperial Javelineers are a heroic era javelin melee infantry unit.
In-Game Description[]
Imperial Javelineers form part of the garrison of most major cities in the east, where they can stand atop a curtain wall and rain death on besieging forces. While their weapons have a more limited range than a bow or gun, their projectiles are more effective in penetrating heavy armour and shields.
Acquisition[]
Imperial Javelineers can be unlocked from the Melee Infantry unit tree, where their node costs 15000 honour to unlock after prerequisites. This cost can be partially or fully defrayed using up to 20x Imperial Javelineer's Signaculum.
