In the game's words
How to use it
The Papal Lancer is a unique Italian heavy hand cavalry unit that can be trained in the Basilica starting in the Fortress Age. Papal Lancers are similar to their mercenary counterparts, the Elmetti, but can deflect or absorb a portion of damage from the attacks of enemy cavalry units targeting adjacent allied units.
History
During the late medieval and early modern periods, surplus of wealth combined with manpower shortages led the Papacy to the natural conclusion of relying on mercenaries for military strength. Some of these were drawn from the so-called lanze spezzate, individual lancer cavalrymen who were hired into mercenary companies. Papal armies were at their most powerful in the 17th century, but then gradually declined with the rise of nation-states with greater power and resources as religious influence waned.
