Inconsistent polearm skill

[FujairahMan]

Summary:
For level 1 Polearm skill (Pikeman), you get:
(Personal) +2% damage with polearm on foot
(Captain) +2% damage by cavalry troops in your formation

You don't have cavalry troops in your formation if you are on foot. Please change the captain skill to "(Captain) +2% damage by infantry troops in your formation"

It's ment to be that way so it supports buth the foot troops and the cavalry troops.

Lancer cavalry also use pole arms, so if you make a cavelry character and the Dev's go with your suggestion. Foot troops get 4% damage increase and cavelry players get 0% that is not fair, hence why they give 2 separate damage boosts.

In most other skills, cavalry and infantry are clearly delineated. Why not here? I think this is just a mistake by the developers.
Otherwise, they should just say "all troops" instead of just "cavalry."

This is actually a description mistake, the implementation is as you would expect. Pikeman perk gives a +2% damage bonus to infantry troops. This issue will be fixed alongside some other perk bug fixes and improvements with an upcoming update.

So what your saying is only foot troops should get attack boost while using pole arms?

If like you say they should change the captain skill to effect only foot troops then the same can be said for the personal.

If your personal preference is to use cavelry pole arms instead of foot soldiers. Then the perk should be changed to boost all and not just foot troops

The developers already replied to this thread, and they said they will fix the problem. Thank you.
