Uh...

1. pikemen are bugged, still, after sooooo many patches.

2. pikemen = worthless.

3. only use is to use with gunpowder, ratio 2-3... 2 gunpowder (2 ranks deep) with 3 pike units behind. This is however very inflexible and only works against the (non existant) AI.


Don't get me wrong, I applaud your effort.... It's just that, well, they are bugged, and I dont see any patch coming anytime soon.

Sure you can use them, but for the same amount of cash you can get troops who do a much better job at building up your empire.

so, A for effort...
