Pike weapon? Basically a really long spear. Just make it slower to use and do less damage than a spear. Up close, the weapon is useless basically.

Be a great anti horse weapon. Give bonus damage to horses.

The spear and billhook already function as anti-horse weapons, and a weapon even longer than the spear seems like it would be incredibly annoying to fight against.

What Slavic Fedora said. There are so many longrange melee weapons you can use. Billhooks, Bardiche, Halberd, Spears.

Having the option to plant the spear in the ground and crouch in order to absorb cavalry charge could be a cool feature though

Billhook Spear Javs and building spikes and walls are all great anti horse tools

Spear allready forces the horse to rear since the latest update, wich stops the charge and leaves the rider immobile for a short time.

I didn't notice this change, thanks for the info! From my experience the cav vs spear actions feel weird most of the time, since the horseman seems to have better range then me with his couched weapon, leading to a brutal death when trying to kill him lol.

Actually when couched the range seems to be worse. Although you have to be very precise, I have killed riders couching towards me with a well timed stab from zweihanders. Never really done it with other weapons except maybe the spear, but it's completely possible.

In order to do this, you have to hit a very specific spot on the horse. It's the front of the torso, just below the neck. Hitting it from the side doesn't work, and it's easier to hit when crouched.
