Holosideros Barracks says it can produce pikemen and other units that i am not able to recruit??

What nation are you playing with? Some nations like Sparta or Athens need a proper reform to build pike units first.

The reforms for the Greek states are on turns 80 and 140, and you also need to reach a certain imperium level. If you look at the sticked threads there is a thread about the reforms for certain factions.

d/w, pike units isnt really that useful anyway.

all your gonna do with sparta is hoplite line + shock cav to the back anyway ;p
its funny how sparta has like the best shock cav on the entire west side of the map even though they really didn't use much cav in history

Pike units are the best anvils in the game. They can keep an army of elite units busy for a very long time. Perhaps too long in my humble opinion. Although they do have some severe weaknesses..
