Brace pikes for infantry, building a phalanx

[Johao]

There has to be dinstict playstyles in each class to increase tactical variety. Two-handed lawnmowers served their purpose, shield-bearers love their picks and swords, poleaxes are dangerously powerful outdoors, axes crush through everything, but pikes or spears seemed to be lacking any sort of tactical advantage since they're both slow and inefficent in close quarters, even when fighting against calvary, they seem hopelessly weak compared to two-handed jump attacks. They need an effective use against calvary, and considering calvary hordes are uncommon but definitely harder than the other waves, then pike bracing does serve its purpose here.
