Драконий копейщик — командир Rise of Kingdoms

The Dragon Spearman is an advanced commander in Rise of Kingdoms (specializing in “Cavalry,” “Versatility,” and “Mobility”). Veteran of the Northern Campaigns—one of the first cavalry units a new player will encounter: fast, simple, and reliable. Teaches the basic mechanics of marching and finishing off enemies.

Historical Background

The Dragon Spearman is a generalized portrayal of a veteran warrior from the northern lands of the kingdom. He is not a historical figure, but rather a “stock” hero from the early stages of the game.

How to Obtain the Dragon Spearman

Awarded at the start of the game; statues can be obtained from silver keys and the tavern.

Player Reviews

Players say: The spearman is the “first teacher of marches.” Everyone has gone through him. They advise against investing in him: his era ends with the first epic commander.

Tips

Use him for your first campaigns against barbarians and for gathering resources until elite commanders become available. Don’t waste sculptures on him—they drop on their own.
