In every game that has pikemen or spearmen in a phalanx formation, you make it where they either cannot move or move extremely slowly. What is up with that? A pike is a heavier weapon, and you cannot rely on your arms as much for power and speed as you can with a spear. Most times pike and spear formations were use offensively, not defensively! A phalanx of spearmen/pikemen would charge into the enemy, not stand still and wait for the enemy to come to them! Please, please remedy this in Rome 2.
Yes, bladed polearms were mostly defensive weapons, but spears and pikes were mostly offensive weapons.
