No, i had them in phalanx formation the entire time they were marching up the hill. It was strange because as i paused and zoomed in i actually saw the peasants under the pikes themselves. From what i could tell my soldiers, as they marched up the hill, held their pikes at a slightly higher angle than normal.

I think he was commenting more on the angle of the spears rather than the casualties.
yes i was.
