In the game's words

How to use it

The Pikeman is an infantry unit with decent hitpoints and damage, but no range. They do all of their damage in melee combat. Pikemen are best fielded against cavalry or buildings. They are cheap to train and cost no Coin, and may be trained in the Commerce Age. For most civilizations Pikemen cannot be upgraded beyond Veteran level for any civilization, except the Spanish.

History

Pikemen fought in very tight formations that maximized the danger to enemies as they approached. The front rank would set their pikes against a cavalry charge, placing the butt of the staff against the ground, braced by the instep of their back foot, with the tip raised up at an angle. The rank standing just behind the first would hold their pikes straight out at about shoulder height to add still more stabbing spearheads. As firearms developed, they were integrated into units of pikemen. By the mid-seventeenth century an infantry regiment might be composed of two-thirds musketeers and a third pikemen. Eventually firearms with mounted bayonets came to replace pikes, which were little seen or used after the nineteenth century. A typical pike was a 10- to almost 20-foot spear-like wooden staff with a steel or iron spear point. Some pikemen also carried swords and axes to attack any enemies who survived the deadly bristling of pike formation. They wore helmets, and sometimes breastplates, to defend themselves against attacks.
