Pikeman IMPLEMENTED
Description: Equipped with a very long pole, much longer than that of a normal spear, pikemen were known to make excellent formations to bar cavalry charges, and keep other soldiers away long enough to have other units to deal with them.

@Endru1241 ,let's bring this idea to life!

Re: Pikeman
Not bad, the imgs could do with some polishing...
Maybe edit from standard AoS units like spearman and Broad swordsman, so the Armor can match.
From there, we can see what to do next.
1st tier: Edit from Spearman
2nd & 3rd: Edit from Halberdier, for 3 give (a little) gold like Man At Arms
Or post Spearman and Halberdier img, and I'll make tiers.

Re: Pikeman
I wonder about this.
I have imagined pike being longbow countrpart, so 1 upgrade only.
Image more based on AoF pike units weapons.

Re: Pikeman
I think damage should be 5, 7. With the same 450% bonus. After adding real pikeman, spearman line can get some rebalance.
HP or armor may be a little higher, but lower on piercing (1/0, 2/1) - pikeman were after all weak against missiles.
About images - I was thinking of adding something similar to current spearman upgrades. Maybe add some armor and polish the image.

Re: Pikeman
Feel free to do it - I only posted a base. If it would retain similarities enough to be seen as part of the rest of base units - it's okay.

How do you mean?

Re: Pikeman
I would add him a little more bulky armor and different helmet - maybe just copy-paste (with corrections) crossbowman and arbalest.
It's actually more for the sake of making a little different appearance from main spearman line.

Re: Pikeman
Nice
There is no place for false kings here, only those who proves themselves to b the true kings of legend, or serves under me
For I watch over this world looking for those worthy to become kings, and on the way get rid of the fakes and rule over the fools

Re: Pikeman
They look great.
I think it's time to add them to the game.
It's only a shame we still have not enough cavalry to make them even more important.

Re: Pikeman
Since this unit is already on the implementation stage, I want to suggest things for the unit.
Why not a small shield like the shield used by a Macedonian Phalangite
Also, since I'm on this why not add Macedonian Phalangite as a unit for the game or do I have to make separate topic?

Re: Pikeman
Some pikemen used a small shield. Tye regular pikemen sidn't used. Ancient pikemen and swiss pikemen did it. They could be different units
Re: Pikeman IMPLEMENTED
I have allready tasted the actualization. I think pikeman and its upgrade speed should be 2. Maybe make an ability like forced march, rising its speed to 3 for some turns, then back to use it when gets coldown.
