I noted that swiss pikemen ignore malus of rivers, they charge units ( pikemen ) behind rivers with low own losses. Rear and flank attacks get low damage and Swiss pikemen solve every melee one-to-one withouth malus of sorrounded units. Own pikemen charge win chance are 0% or very low everytime, the swiss charges are too devastanting. I think that swiss pikemen are a bit too exagerate in melee.

It was actually a shallow ditch and had no significant effect in the historical battle. It is modelled accordingly.

There is a way to make simultaneous assault ? the melee one-one is advantageous for swiss pikemen, its possible a sum of attack damages like old amiga Romance of Three Kingdom game ? I noted that sorrounding tactics are not many effective

A unit can have its combat effectiveness reduced by up to 50%? (pretty sure that is the %) when facing multiple opponents in melee.

I won Marignano scenario finally but I noted that key of victory is luck + furious shooting with every range unit around swiss pikemens, Lanzi pikemen really sucks in melee, the gendarmes sucks in direct attacks but they can charge rear and retreat later many times ( if there is enough space to manouvre ). Artillery inflicts few damage ( often 0 damage on pikemen also ) . Swiss pikemen destroy everything in frontal challenges, their weakness is low manouvrability. The french range units and arqueburges ( the most effective units of french army ) must avoid every contact more possible. The swiss charges are really devastanting
