Line infantry

the line infantry is a unit type in warbanner

the line infantry regiments form the line of battle in this game, often they will be the most numerous regiments in the battlefield and they will also be covering low health units such as light infantry or heavy riflemen, the men forming this regiments often has a low range, high health and melee and the highest unit size, being 36 or 38, but sometimes it falls as low as 27 or 28 (like fusiliers of Frederick the great and California regiment), and most of the times the enemy can be destroyed just by spamming the strongest units of this type (examples are black corps or Loyal Lusitanian Legion)

Strategies
this units are often spammed against an enemy, but when the battles are hard enough, just spamming this guys wont be enough (things such as mortarmen could easely blow them up in seconds), this units often cover units with higher damage output, like cannons, light infantry and mortarmen, due to their high health and unit size they are able to tank most of the damage while the rest of the units deal the damage from far away, its reccomended to be careful when deploying massed line infantry and mortarmen together, as they can mass on a bayonet charge and mortarmen could end up accidentally end up killing more allies than enemies with a wrong placed shot plus the splash damage
