Having the pikes sit there in a line deployed waiting for the other player to charge into them, only to slowly advance (possibly haphazardly, creating flanking unit sized holes in the line) when they come under heavy fire is not a good use of pikes, but the vast majority of pike users play them like that anyway because real life that is similar to how it was supposed to work. That isn't true, it is just most people don't know how to use them effectively within the game.
Originally posted by Thunder Thighs:Play any multiplayer battle, pikes are almost useless, unless its nearing the end of the battle and no ranged units are left.
