Strategy[]
The Dunedain Soldiers are Arnor's basic foot soldiers. They function best as spam troops for early game and creeping early. However, due to Arnor's better late-game swordsmen, the Palace Guards of Arnor, they shouldn't be built once the Arnor player has the resources to crank out Palace Guards.
