Hints:

If your pioneers are getting attacked and their health shows red or yellow, simply convert them back to carriers. The enemy can't attack them, and when you convert them back to pioneers they will have full health.

If you are playing a game and your spies spot a large amount of troops heading your way, convert all your spare settlers into pioneers and group them up. Send the pioneers into the invading troops. It's cruel, but it will give you some time to get all of your troops into the area.
