Of course, rank upon rank of untrained, ultracheap militia with pikes would still be superior to ultra-elite, ultra-expensive knights, but France didn't dwell on that, and neither shall we. Not like any of that matters after you've researched Bone Grinding, anyway.

I would doubt that a group of untrained, unarmored militia would stand up to a proper cavalry charge across solid ground. Pikes don't do you any good if the guy beside you runs away.
