mixed unit idea

[pike master]

the big question i want to ask is if it is possible for ca to do something like this in the current game through a later patch? and if not i wander if they could make it easier for units to march at same speed or missile troops enmesh better with pike units?

Its gonna require a total rework of the engine to have mixed units, so no its not gonna happen in the expansion or a patch.

Building integrated tercios with pike and shot would be great but the arquebusiers would need to behave very differently than the pike. That makes the unit AI much more complex. When you would order a such a tercio unit to attack, what should it do? Advance to firing range, halt, and volley away while the pikes assume a defensive stance? Or march into melee and force the shot to file to the rear?

Having different actions happening within the same unit at the same time sounds problematic.
