Vlandian pikemen are the only vanilla troops in the game with spears that can be braced, the Fine Pike. I thought this would mean that they could brace their pikes to counter cavalry charges, making them actually worth upgrading to, but I was wrong. They don't brace with their pikes, only "attack" with them, meaning that they're almost useless because of their lack of shields and 2-handed weapons.
