Yeah, and my pike wall is so much crappy, and it's principle ar so ovious for logical people I won't consider explaining why I find it so painfull to play as arcos mid or late.
An infantry well trained and prepared can wistand a cavalry charge without too many loose : Sikhs (india) have played a bad trick to english cavalry, without any polearms.
I think that if you increase their impact, you have to reduce their melee defence, for the reasons BrigandScary explained. ( a horse is almost never a 'dog of war')
