In the game's words
How to use it
Lancers are a unique Spanish cavalry unit with a good attack, good resistance, and good hitpoints, but no range. Like most melee units, this means that Lancers are vulnerable to ranged attacks until they can get close enough to their targets to attack. Lancers are very good against infantry, in contrast to most cavalry, who should flee infantry in general. They will still take damage as they run in close to ranged enemy units, but if those units are infantry there had better be a lot of them.
History
Lancers were about the only cavalry that ranks of musketeers with bayonets couldn't drop. Their lances gave them better range than bayonets though they were already an archaic weapon. Though it never vanished entirely from battlefields, the Polish were responsible for the lance's rise to prominence in the nineteenth century. Lances were wooden shafts that varied from nine feet to over 15 feet long. They carried swallow-tailed banners just under the metal tips. Some Cossacks carried lances, and many dragoon regiments were armed with both lances and carbines.
