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
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.
