Pikemen from the beginning

[Fredrik]

Did'nt you remove the pikemen for some turns into the game? Because in Antwerp there's a rebel army with four units of Flemish Pikemen. Dont know if anyone have reported this...

[Gajus Flaminius]

i've noticed them, too.
i don't think that this is something dave has forgot to remove but i'm not quite sure.
anyway, there are some factions which can still produce pikemen from the beginning for example scotland (or are they even so only ones), they can recruit those pikeman militia, and so it wouldn't surprise me if he wanted it that way. the problem with these pikemen at the beginning of a campaign is, that they are very strong. and what i really don't like about those flemish ones is, that they always kill a lot of my units on the wall with theire pikes!
normally you can't fight with such a lonk pike on a wall, but because of the fact that dave has removed the secondary weapon (short sword), if i i am informed correctly,they can't change to another weapon and so their somehow overpowered.

Thanks guys, this is a small oversight on my part. It seems I left in the flemish pikemen to defend Antwerp. I think this is the only rebel settlement that has a pikemen unit. But I will check the others just to make sure. Will have it fixed in the next update. Thread now closed.

thanks,
Dave
