Whilst pikes may not have been used commonly historically I don't see why that should stop us using them.

Indeed if I someone wants to take the world on using bits of pointy wood, archers and swordsmen then I say good for them! It might be more difficult but there is no reason to prevent us from trying.

Pikemen and dragoons just introduce a bit of variety that helps spice up a game dominated by musket armed foot soldiers.
Part of the problem with beating the native American Indian tribes was they had a much higher rate of fire than muskets or rifles and they wouldn’t stand in the open to be shot fair and square…

Couple with that that they would happily use captured cannon, fight from ambush, and draw you into their range with sneaky tactics and you wonder about how things worked out…
