Quick Question: Did anyone notice that Muskets are better...
than Pikemen vs Cavalry for cost? Like, this is absurd; pikemen are specialists at acav and building destruction, but muskets do a better job at anti-cavalry. By extension, Chinese Qiang Pikemen suck even more, despite having a better statline for cost than Pikemen.
Re: Quick Question: Did anyone notice that Muskets are better...
Well, kinda, but pikemen cost less, are better at sieging, have cover mode and are available sometimes when the musketeers are not; above all, though, the former are faster, which is a big deal in terms of fighting against cavalry. Nevertheless, you're rather right — the general consensus is that pikemen are inferior to musketeers and are weak units altogether, better for a situational usage or in early game.

Re: Quick Question: Did anyone notice that Muskets are better...
youre also refering to muskets in melee, you can micro inbetween each volley so they do the ranged attack rather than the melee attack, and in that sense, musks are poor anti cav
Re: Quick Question: Did anyone notice that Muskets are better...
Pikes are also faster, and train faster (I think?) than muskets.

Monster trucks train faster if you have the right UI.

the musk player can also do that though. shoot, and then move into melee range for the melee animation to kick in.

Re: Quick Question: Did anyone notice that Muskets are better...
Pikemen cost less? VS-adjusted, they're 133 VS a piece. Muskets are 141 VS a piece. So the cost difference is much less than it looks like on paper.
Re: Quick Question: Did anyone notice that Muskets are better...
Ye it's ok afterall except perhaps that it would make more sense for pikes to have 20% meelee resistance and muskets 10%.

you can spam pikes more quickly with wood crates (400, 700, 600), then it kinda evens out
Re: Quick Question: Did anyone notice that Muskets are better...
Pikes work well with xbows in age 2 because they have the exact same cost, making it much easier to macro. That, coupled with their higher speed and siege, makes preferable to musk as part as that composition.

Pecelot valiantly defending pikemen. Very meme-tastic.
Pay more attention to detail.
