“Well-armed and plentiful, these troops are effective at tearing down enemy buildings. These unique Roman soldiers has more health.”
Spearhead Trieste Infantry is the level 16 Romans Unique Heavy Infantry unit unlocked in the Drone Age. Its predecessor is the Honored Trieste Infantry. It is researched in a level 15 Armory. It replaces Spearhead Infantry.
General Information[]
The standard Heavy Infantry's default A.I. or purpose is to destroy the closest building (excluding walls), but they may fight back when attacked by an enemy troop. They're excellent at taking down defensive Heavy Cavalry (noticeably on cavalry at an age lower than them) and are able to destroy buildings quickly. However, their disadvantages are that they have low health, meaning that they can be killed very quickly. They can get destroyed easily by Splash Damage Structures such as Catapults or Mortars and Multiple Target Damage Structures such as Redoubt or Machine Gun. They are also weak against other Heavy Infantry (and even Ranged Infanty} spawned by the City Center, Garrisons, Ambush Traps etc.
- As a Roman unique unit, Spearhead Trieste Infantry has 25% more health than the standard Heavy Infantry they replace.
Historical Description[]
The Italian Benelli M4 tactical shotgun has a unique “auto-regulating gas-operated” (ARGO) system. This system uses self-cleaning pistons, which vastly simplifies the design of the entire weapon. The ARGO system was created specifically for the Benelli M4.
The Benelli M4 is incredibly modular, meaning most of its features can be cycled in and out mid-combat. Wielders are able to modify the barrel, butttock, forend, and more with relative ease. Knowing parts could be swapped mid combat, this weapon has been made to be incredibly durable. It can be operated in all weather conditions and climates, and is easy to maintain because of its specially designed system.
Attacking Strategies[]
- If these units are used in large groups and not in heavy fire, they can be devastating and can destroy a base easily.
- Catapults or Mortars, with their splash damage, are devastating against these units and can kill a group of them in a few hits if in the range of the impact. Spread the units around so that the mortar would have to hit each infantry to kill it and that its impact would not affect other infantry as well, or deploy a few Heavy Cavalry to destroy it.
- Redoubts or Machine Guns buildings can likewise be devastating against these units, if it is not dealt with appropriately. Keep the units away from it until it is destroyed or position them to destroy it quickly.
- If a group of these units are under fire from Catapults or Mortars or Redoubts or Machine Guns buildings, consider using war tactics such as Sabotage or Protect and destroy the buildings as quick as possible, or use Demolition beforehand to eliminate these threats. You may also consider using Heavy Cavalry or other units to destroy these threats early on.
- The Missile Silo can eliminate a group of these units quickly. Don't group them together so much that will attract the Silo attacks. Or you could deploy them after the Silo is destroyed, sabotaged or distracted by other units with high HP.
- Use Ranged Infantry or Machine Gun Infantry to support them, so they don't perish easily to defenders.
- They can be used as a distraction for many defenses and can help protect ranged infantry such as Ranged Infantry from defenses.
- A group of them can easily overwhelm single target defensive towers, but are vulnerable against machine gun buildings.
- While using an army entirely composed with Heavy Infantry can decimate enemy bases early on, this strategy becomes less useful as you advance ages as your opponents will use more powerful defenses with AOE effect such as the Missile Silo.
