In the game's words
How to use it
The Rodelero is a unique Spanish infantry unit with no range, good hitpoints, a good attack and great resistance to damage. They do all of their damage in melee combat. A Rodelero's greatest asset is speed, which is unusually high for infantry. They are better than most infantry at rushing artillery, but still have to slowly close the distance. It is a good idea to include ranged units with an army of Rodeleros to soften an enemy up before the Rodeleros wade into the battle.
History
Rodeleros were a Spanish infantry who used swords and round shields. This arms combination was often used against formations of pike and halberds. Agile swordsmen could better evade the deadly iron of densely packed pikes and could take formations apart from the inside. In 1506 Cortez arrived in the New World with over 1,300 soldiers, 1,000 of which were rodeleros. They were adaptable, versatile soldiers, capable in close quarters on the decks of ships as well as against the loose, guerilla tactics of non-European enemies. Rodela is a Spanish word meaning shield; Rodeleros are "shield-bearers." Rodeleros were armed with one-handed swords and round shields approximately two feet in diameter. These rodela were most often made of steel, but were also made of iron-bound wood covered with hide.
