    I'm surprised at the support for pikemen, from my experience they are abysmal. All they can do is kill cavalry that charge them head on, against infantry they can barely beat peasants. And they drop like flies under ranged attacks. And they are slow moving.

    I want to like pikemen, I really do. I want to have them forming the backbone of my late period armies with artillery, gunmen, and heavy cavalry in support. But they could lose to an army created in the first 10 turns.

    They may be cheap, but so are peasants, doesn't make them worthwhile.

    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.
