Apologies for straying OT, but since we're on the subject; Would horses be preferable to swords against Pikes? This is assuming I've nothing stronger to attack with.
I'd say yes, if you have numeric superiority. Swordsman vs Pike is at best 50/50, lower with defensive bonus, and no chance of retreat. 1 on 1, swords your best chance, but 2-3 horses are better. You might end up with a single red-lined horse, but the goal is to kill the piker.
I disagree. Swords--attack 3, horses--attack 2. Horses just don't get it done against pikes. Of course if pikes are out there, you should have maces and should be close to getting knights.
I hate Democracy, no unit support. I tried it once; straight away switched to Fascist. Once i take over the world i will use a Fascist regime, then get rid of most soldiers( exept police ) and start a wierd republic with me as overseer of peace!!!
