Idea on Cavalry Mode Implementation (Pikeman)
#1
Right at the Moment, every Class can be used pretty good on Cav, with the exception of Pikeman. Most Weapons are either unusable on horseback or only for thrusting.

Here's what i'd recommend:
Pikes like Jormungandr, Sarissa... are used like either a lance or are able to be used as 2handed thrusting weapons.
Halberds like Dragon Halberd, Mangler are used like a 2h Sword or a Glaive.
Spears like Dragon Spear or Elegy are used like a regular Spear with the Shields currently usable for Pikeman

Right now Elegy can only be used like a 2h thrusting spear, Ebonwood Pike won't be usable on Horseback and Weapons like Dragon Halberds can only be used like a Spear, making Pikeman an inferior Class compared to regular Classes which will just use Lances.

Using Pikes as lances might be considered Overpowered yet it would give Pikeman a chance to get a good place along the Other classes. Infantry excels at killing short ranged Infantry, Archers at  killing ranged Horsemen, Crossbow for killing Bosses and Pikeman would be able to lance the W12 Minions (Ulfric the mightys Spear and Shield Minions) with the range-exceeding Pikes. Giving the Pikes lance-ability would make them pretty vulnerable however, because no shield could be wielded.

Halberds generally have longer reach than 2h swords, which would level the field versus the heavy armored infantry knights.

Since throwing angles can't be fixed, this would be an efficient way to make Pikeman have a niche on Cav.

Thank you for coming this far, so what do you think about this Idea of mine?
