New feature: anti cavalry spear mechanix

[SolidSnake]

Hey guys I would like to propose a new mechanic for infantry. A way to use the lance or spear as a spike against cavalry.

Think of it as, cavalry is too weak against all kind of spikes

[SolidSnake]

Well my view is more into realistic stuff, to the community to decide, just wanted to propose something to ♥♥♥♥ the horses easier by counting the speed of the horse when hitting them with a spear or something

I always play cavalry in multiplayer and I screw people up like crazy

A soldier in defense position just holding his spear should deal damage to units that charge in front position, like in total war games.

Whenever I ride to an infantry with a spear, he hits my horse and it rears up, interrupting my attack. So there is already that kind of mechanics.

I know man, but how much damage to the horse? 20-30 seriously, with the speed they should at least receive 300 XD

Well, your point is then not to include new weapon, but let spears make more damage against horses. But I would take horse armor into account then. Its another story, if you just ride with a saddle or have a full chainmail for horse.

I feel like we will be able to give more in depth commands in upcoming updates: look at the AI commander giving all kinds of cool commands like "cavalry flanking infantry from the right", "cavalry hit & run", "archers skirmish" etc. Hopefully more in depth formations could be included too. Customizable formations where you could hand pick positions & stances would be epic!

new mechanic or more damage, i don't care just more damage to cavalry to feel the game more realistic like total war :D as the other guy said

There should be a simple command for units to "Brace for cavalry" to hold out their spears and automatically face cavalry units. It would give incentive to specialize a formation for only spearmen.

AI already does this. I've had my horse dead stopped by Spearman in tournaments. I'm just not sure how to do it myself.
