A pike is a much longer weapon than a spear, and thus facilitates different combat tactics. A wall of pikemen is the bane of any cavalry charge, and with proper discipline and tactics, pikemen can also hold most infantry at bay. Special Notes: the length of their weapon allows a pikeman to strike first in melee, even in defense." get_hit_sound=groan.wav [death] [frame] begin=0 end=80 image="human-pikeman-die-1.png" [/frame] [frame] begin=80 end=160 image="human-pikeman-die-2.png" [/frame] [frame] begin=160 end=240 image="human-pikeman-die-3.png" [/frame] [frame] begin=240 end=320 image="human-pikeman-die-4.png" [/frame] [frame] begin=320 end=400 image="human-pikeman-die-5.png" [/frame] [/death] [attack] name=pike type=pierce range=short damage=10 number=3 special=firststrike [animation] direction=s [frame] begin=-175 end=100 image="human-pikeman-attack-s.png" [/frame] [/animation] [animation] direction=n [frame] begin=-175 end=100 image="human-pikeman-attack-n.png" [/frame] [/animation] [animation] direction=se,sw [frame] begin=-175 end=100 image="human-pikeman-attack-se.png" [/frame] [/animation] [animation] direction=ne,nw [frame] begin=-175 end=100 image="human-pikeman-attack-ne.png" [/frame] [/animation] [/attack] [/unit]
