    This is the key to understanding layering and the proper use of swordsmen and pikes. They have a slightly higher speed than archers which means they will enter the battle ahead of archers, giving a shield to your archers to allow them to move up unharmed.

    You can read DarkBrady's Guide to Key Issues of Combat Mechanics for a more detailed discussion of the uses of different units.
