Such as adding the hability to overhead stab with pikes, a lot of new players pick pikes because they think they are good against cav to then get destroyed by sword cavalry, this leaves them very confused and is difficult for them to grasp how to counter cav since they dont understand the problem of the pike is the animations it has in native since the bots cant make the most of the pike as a player would by manipulating the pike stab by making a side stab or a jump 180 stab.

If overhead stab is not possible because is not coded on native adding side swings will make them much more viable because it would give them a way to make damage when they are on a square, i'm not saying pikes are not useful but as they stand now they are trap for new players

Unfortunately no, some weapons (mostly lances and pike type spears) in Warband are basically hardcoded or locked down so changes can't be made for multiplayer. For singleplayer, thats different. In SP you can do almost anything. In MP however..

 

I have tried 'fixing' the pike but any changes to it locks the weapon in a freezed position when used.

Now that we are here, is it possible to add new orders such ''Use polearms only'' or ''Use 1 handed only or any category that the swords belong in on the engine'' this would make spear cav good
