Pike on horseback

[Thucydides]

obviously, but is it really balanced that one pikeman is all that is needed to make a mass of infantry immune to cav? There has always been an arms race between infantry and cavalry in weapon length, infantry only won because it was far cheaper to equip 100 infantry than even 10 armored knights

So what about bows einstein ? You thought they were used by 1 hand only also ? If your logic makes sense according to bows used by 2 hands also should we use flamberge on horse ?

Come on, do you really consider your post as intelligent or useful?

Using a bow is physically something completely different to swinging a hafted blade....and yes, ofcourse a bow is 2h, but as i sad, it's something completely different you have to do with your body than using a bow

The hafted blades are ok. They are less powerfull than 1h cav anyway.

they get -30% speed and damage, so they are ok
