Rattan Pikemen are a Chivalric era polearm melee infantry unit.

In-Game Description

The heavy assault infantry of the Rattan Army. Unlike pike infantry in other lands, Rattan Pikemen are exclusively an aggressive unit, using their poisoned weapons to make up for their comparative lack of specialised tactics.

Acquisition

Rattan Pikemen can be unlocked from the Rattan Army unit tree, where they cost 2000 honour (after unlocking prerequisites). This cost can be partially or fully defrayed using up to 20x Rattan Pikeman's Signaculum.
