Really great point there Blxz. Stability is key, both in warfare as well as in my investment portfolio! Ahaha! As for pike infantry in EB's timeframe, some nations I haven't really noticed using much more than spears. I've seen Sweboz with 1 pike unit, I believe. I don't remember any pikes from the Celts or Lusos. Hmm...Armenians don't have a native pike unit, at least in EB, and the regionals there are Hellenic pikemen. Most any pikes in the east seem to be descended from some Hellenic/Diadochi variant.
