Development[]
The roman spearmen were first revealed in the Weekly Blog #11: Spearman, Battering Ram, Siege Workshop Project Celeste forum post on August 3rd, 2019. It will be on par with most of the civs in an age 1 anti-cavalry role:
Roman Spearman in Epic Gear, next to their commanding Centurion in Legendary Gear
- We have been discussing the Spearman for weeks now, so it is wonderful to finally present him. Though he is not coded as a Common Unit (such as the Villager, Caravan, Fishing Boat, and Merchant Transport Ship), every civ has one, and he always appears in Age 1 out of the Barracks -- the only exception is the Persians (Age 2). So including a Roman Spearman was almost a foregone conclusion.
- Epic armor is not fully Golden, but a mix between Leather and Golden Metal. This is based on original concept art and is very similar to Persian Spearmen's color set.
