They are armed with Polearms (Bonus against Cavalry).
They also have an Armour Piercing attack. (Bonus against troops with armour 4+?)
You can have a valour bonus for them in a province. (Bulgaria I think.)
You can also use them in the desert due to the regular 3 Armour stat.
And also they are in the Fast Infantry Category (March 6 Run 12 Charge 13)
Also disciplined I think.
They are disciplined and elite, which means that they are not very worried about non-elite troops fleeing and they don't suffer a big penalty if the general dies.

The AP bonus is +1 attack at 3 or 4 armour, +2 at 5 or 6 armour, +3 at 7 or 8 armour, and so on against infantry.
Against cavalry it is +1 attack at 4 or 5 armour, +2 at 6 or 7 armour, +3 at 8 or 9 armour, and so on.
