Pikemen and Halberdiers are the level 1 creatures of Castle. They can be recruited from the Guardhouse.
"Pikemen and halberdiers are among the strongest basic foot soldiers available to any army. While somewhat slow, they have respectable combat ratings." RoE manual
Special Ability: Jousting Immunity[edit | hide | hide all]
Although not mentioned in the game or manual, both Pikemen and Halberdiers are immune to 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 Horn of the Abyss, the ability is present in the unit's description.

Sharpshooters are level 4 neutral creatures recruited from the Treetop Tower.
"Specially trained by the guerrilla warrior Gelu, Sharpshooters are a select troop. Recruited from the ranks of Archers, Marksmen, Wood Elves, and Grand Elves, Sharpshooters use a huge recursive, compound longbow. More than five feet in length, three bowstrings running through the pulleys on both ends, aid in the power and precision of their attacks. With their training, distance and siege walls are not a hindrance." AB manual
Heroes with a specialty[edit | hide]
Gelu the Ranger 
can upgrade Archers and Marksmen and Wood Elves and Grand Elves to Sharpshooters.
