That's a great idea, but wouldn't players form a "noob square" of pikes? That would take all the challenge and fun out of the game right, because they would techinically be invulnerable, and AI isn't advanced enough (I don't think) to be able to hit the weak points in the phalanx or atack from flanks. They'd probably just charge straight at it. Shield walls can already be formed, and I think that's quite enough. But if you have any further suggestions on how to counter these issues, I want to hear them. This could be one of the best things to ever come to NI if perfected.
