Just something I was thinking about -

When Mounts are implemented, Pikemen should be able to do extra damage against the mount itself (hopefullY) since historically pikes were to stop charging animals.

I don't know if this is somethingthe Devs have thought of, but I think it is something they should consider.

historicaly pikes had longer ranges than swords too but that isn't so here.

And they should be able to hit from a farther distance than your fists too...

Our mount will probably have to be perfectly still for us to attack.

Although it's been said before, this should be yet another of our top issues. Historically, pike weapons are suitable to both mounted combat AND versus mounted combat. We should at least have some sort of obvious advantage in all mounted combat, period. Please Dev's, give us something to numb the pain...

When the "New Game Enhancements" go live, I will leave this game.
You can give it a pretty name, but it does not hide your shame...
