pike

im ok with spears being clumsy one handed with the shield, but when used 2 handed, the trust should be mega fast and u should add a feign mechanic so u can switch point of attack between the attacks like this dude demonstrates: 8:35 it doesn't take much effort for spear to switch directions...

Does anyone know what the current plan is for pike and spear bracing in single player? Will the mechanic look like the multiplayer equal or will there be changes compared to the multiplayer version? Right now I think that some units, most notably the Vlandian Pikeman, are not really viable...

I've been testing pike bracing and honestly I'm surprised this feature even got past testing stage. It has been implemented terribly. Not only it does not kill a horse charging me full speed, it doesn't even rear the horse. Think about it, even a normal spear hit can rear a horse but a big ass...

It's a bit jarring to see the most dominant melee weapon for most of human history (spear and shield only being replaced later by two handed polearms like halberds) reduced to a useless thing that your troops are better off magically clipping to their backs... Contrary to popular belief, they...

The below is an excerpt from an earlier reply I made concerned with specifically with horse archers and infantry, which can be found here. Obviously, I would personally love to see a system like this implemented, but I'm curious what you all think about something like this?

For realism purposes i think that pikes should be buffed. also being able to do phalanx formations if you have a sufficient amount of spearmen and men with shields. Maybe add it as a perk a skilled tactician could unlock later in the game
