The Swordsman is your basic defensive unit and the first one you gain access to when you start a city. They should always be used for defensive purposes, as they are very weak on the attack side of things. They are especially good when defending against Slingers, which a lot of people use. They have decent defense against Blunt, but they are definitely weakest against Hoplites.
