Every unit has a specific mass rating. Most spears have 1 or 1.2 for the higher spears. Heavy infantry generally has 1.2 as do most pikes. Peasants and early missile units have 0.8
Except cavalry charges the place where the infantry was and not where the infantry is. A missile group put on skirmish is actually the best against taking charges.
