Okay that does make sense. I have noticed they grip the pike pretty close to the front in some animations, it may be related.

@dagobert dogburglar another user feedbacked that the pikes were clipping through the heads of the pikemen in front when being held in the overhead thrust.

I like every part of this except removing overhead thrusts? Why? In almost every historical depiction of pikemen and fencing manuals a high thrusting guard is extremely common.

Pikes are *very* light, they wouldnt be usable otherwise. Almost every single contemporary historical example of a pike is under 10 kg.

its too bad Realistic Battle Mod will make your game crash...

mk thank you so much

@bevus nimbus you can try Basic Overhaul by Carioceco.

is there any mods that help with commands for using the different weapons?

@bevus nimbus then you can try raising the slider.

so it worked to about 90% of them use the pikes now but a few do not still

In the mod options Spear Preference Fix for RBM, try resetting the settings to default. When in battle, make sure you put your pikemen in shield wall and order them to advance, not charge.

i do but they still do not use the pike

@bevus nimbus make sure you have the mod requirements installed.

i ran into a problem when i start a battle the pikemen do not use their pikes and just become regular infantry

@WittyName try putting ATC and DRM at the bottom of the load order.

Yea, like i said. I installed all required mods.

@WittyName strange, I don't face the same issue as you. And by mod requirements I mean you need to have Adonnay's Troop Changer installed in order to use DRM.

I ran only DRM, Better pikes, RBM and there are no pikeman lol. just tell everyone that you need to play vlandia with DRM, BP and RBM to have better pikes. Its rediclous that modders claim this stuff works and download all these other mods so you can get pikemen for every faction when its clearly not true.

So, thanks for the mod. its great if you didn't have to play one faction. Please remove DRM from the suggested mod list because that mod has zero pikemen so its very misleading.

Yep, I installed all suggested mods within this article and what steam asked me to do. i'm just telling you, DRM is a really bad suggestion for a mod to download, there are zero pikemen in that mod. You might as well tell everyone to play vlandia in vanilla to play this mod. DRM has zero pikeman, none, zip, nada.

@WittyName make sure you have the mod requirements installed.

It's a cool mod with the troop trees and all that but it completely removes pikes, even vlandia doesn't have pikes with that mod.

How so? I played for 6 hours yesterday, no lords army had pikes units in it, no villages, towns or taverns had pike units.

@WittyName it adds pike units to Empire, Battania and Vlandia which are not in vanilla.

Why is DRM recommended? there are no pikemen in that mod. unless its something you recruit out of a tavern. No factions troop trees have pikemen.

@Aldebaran1918 please share the crash report.

I really want to like this mod. Pike and shot/crossbow tactics are amongst my favorites...
But it seems like every time I try to make a new game with this mod it just crashes.
Any hint or help as to how to fix this issue? Thanks

@Bot Andrew you can try increasing the pike blow magnitude multiplier in the mod options.

Decent Mod But Pikes Are Still Terrible Against Infantry.
I once had 30 pikeman and they couldn't handle 8 bandits, i had to get them in line formation so they would use their swords.

i have a probelm with rot and better pikes and that better seems to make all polearms require very high level to use

@Diiizyyy yes.

Is this working on 1.2.12?

Roger on the knockback chance.

Regarding the current slider of pike blow magnitude, the issue is that it can't go lower than one. If it could, it would be great :)

@Moridin the slider that controls pike blow magnitude also controls pike damage. I'm not adding a slider to control knockback chance.

First of all, many thanks for this mod :)

Question: could we get a slider to reduce pike damage? And another to modify knockback chance?

But I wouldn`t call this mod completely unbalanced, since cavalry lances are "buffed" as well, so cavalry deal a tremendous damage to "uncovered" infantry (or the very same pikemen, if caught on the move).

Anyway, I`m so happy that my pikemen started to actually hit or brace enemy horsemen. Because so far, even with RBM, they were just standing still no matter what and making enemy cavalry flow freely through their ranks. AI morons. I know that soldiers are stupid (I used to be a soldier myself), but to this damn extent?!

Daaaamn, with these new pikes I feel like a cheater! My Casterly Rock Pikemen (from RoT mod - and yeah, they are compatible) slew 110 Vale knights in 2 minutes while loosing 9 men. Goddamn impressive! With simple RBM the ratio of losses was around 1:2 (to pikemen`s advantage), not 1:10.

But it makes sense, cavalry lancers historically are not supposed to crash pikemen formations freely.

@Gluttonous creature yes.

Doth thy mod work for the newest version?

@Gunnery Sgt. Hartman not working how?

thxx bro

@Capt_Alpha if you can't find pike units to hire, you need to install a troop tree mod that adds more pike units, such as DRM.

how to hire pikeman?

Mods fixed and working well again! Cheers!

cheers for the mod, i love a good pike & this mod tickles that itch like crazy.
