The other advantage of infantry vs. cavalry in Dominions is size - smaller size means more men attacking per battle frontage, when unit density is high enough.

Unfortunately, I don't think weapon length is taken into account - so a mass of shortsword infantry has the same number of attacks as a similar mass of pike infantry.

(sigh)

Maybe pike-stacking can be an addition in Dom3? I know nobody in MP cares about national armies anyway, and these details probably matter little in the larger picture of high sorcery. Perhaps variable weapon damage based on the old piercing/slashing/bludgeoning thing would be sufficient to satisfy my ideas of what "should be"...
