Flemish Milita and Fire Lance look pretty similar and also function in a similar way. An Infantry unit with ok base stats and some bonus damage vs. Cavalry.
Of course Fire Lance do have their charged attack that makes them more unique but overall the units seem and look relatively similar.
So why don’t they both have the Shock Infantry armour class instead of the Flemish Milita getting the Spearman armour class.
I think giving them Spearman armour class made them too weak against Archers to ever be more useful then the Spearman Line that just does way more damage vs. Cavalry.

this one actually make me question the decision as well. Flemish militia by no mean is a cheap unit, yet they lose to militia line, not very good against cavalry like spear line and die to skirm while costing a wooping 30 gold, they are definitely not worth getting at all. The only good thing about them is that their upgrade through ages are completely free and instant.
My guess is that the stupid “button” still exists, that why they need to add spearman armor class so that when someone hit the “button” the other side still has a chance to counter with cheap skirm and not get overrun. The “button” is just ridiculous and people have been telling the dev to remove it from the game but for some reason they still think it’s a good idea to keep it, which is very out of touch.
I think they should just get rid of the button and remove the spearman armor class and give them a bit more bonus vs cav (maybe from 8 to 12).
My guess is that 120 Femish Militia cannot be stopped when they have Shock Infantry armor.
But yeah, the Barracks unit seems underwhelming as it is so hard countered by ranged soldiers.
Agree
Flemish Militia should be more infantry focus.
It is useless with Pikeman armor
I like the idea of give them Shock infantry armor instead
I don’t mind making militia-line more useful by countering every spear-holding UU, like ghulam and kamayuk as well.
