I think in one case it was Raganvad, and another it was Olek or something. I just remember them being well established lords, and being shocked that they were just charging the infantry in. In one battle, I was part of an army, and the overall goal at the start said, "We'll attack with an all out assault focused on our infantry," Which apparently meant we'll just charge our men into the enemy shieldwall while their Fians tear our unorganized asses to pieces.
Yeah, I already tried changing the shield type to hand_shield, I just didn't really know where to go from there. Don't have a load of experience modding.
Yeah, honestly The pike not bracing is kindof the least of the spears problems. I think spears shouldn't have to rely on momentum to do damage, period and should probably be faster, too. There is a reason, (besides resource availability and price) that everyone from nobles to peasants made extensive use of spears and pikes historically. The Fine Pikes were just something with an actual function that wasn't being used by the unit, hence the post.
Looks like it's hardcoded, so, nevermind then.
Wait, I'm confused, how is this a bad thing?
