Rank Bonus

[pike master]

still it is obvious that because spears are no longer allowed to project two spear ranks forward as they did in barbarian invasion and pikes only fighting two ranks deep is most likely contributing to the overpowered cav problem.

i fail to see reducing fighting ranks in spearmen and pikemen is supposed to balance the game. as i said why did ca do this? in barbarian invasion the schiltrom was perfect absolutely perfect and now its fodder. i know they dont want strong pike units in the game but a major problem why the formation is turning to swords is because they dont have additional two ranks to keep infantry from reaching the formation.



@dyonis that may sound like a good idea on theory but who could afford to waste all those slots? perhaps you need a nap
