Phalanx Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 So.....I pitted Seleucid SS against Macedonian Hypapists with the SS upgrade...... And the Macedonians won...... What!?! Just for future note, which do you guys think would win realistically? Macedonian Hoplite SS, Seleucid Pike SS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordGood Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 a guy's gotta be confident going into a duel with a pike and a tiny shield 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wowgetoffyourcellphone Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 (edited) The sarissa is only good in mass combat*. I would make wager the Macedonian hoplite-armed SS would win handily in a 1-1 duel in real life. *This give me idea of Pikeman having a short distance aura that gives other pikemen a boost.

It depends on the general behind either side. Sorry, I couldn't resist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without formations this was a mute point, but it was 30 vs 30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorfinn the Shallow Minded Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 I would like pike units to have a marginal amount of range, encouraging them to cluster in ranks where they could attack simultaneously. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eraser Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 I would choose the pikes, since they are longer and hit first lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking about making a new x3 damage weakness system in the next versions of my mod: For what I'm thinking right now, pikes got a great range so they could have an even bigger buff against cavalry (x6 or less unlike the x3 of spears). But since their shields are tiny because in history they had to put the shields at their back to operate the pike properly, they'ld be way weaker to arrows, like also a x6 weakness to arrows. I'll have to think about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
