Pike and Shot has been on my wishlist for some time but I hesitated due to the "you go, I go" game play. Normally I greatly prefer simultaneous execution games. But when the sale showed up a couple weeks ago, I made the move. I decided to start with the earliest timeframe, so on with the Italian Wars. I really like the variety of troop types and the differing roles. The maps and troops look great. And the AI is tough. The skirmish battles are very challenging. After a few weeks, I am finally starting to win consistently on level 2. This is the best AI, I have played in many years. Considering the game covers 200 years, I can see playing this game for quite awhile. It is a lot of fun. I hope you have plans for some expansions covering earlier timeframes.

The only thing I would like to see added are commanders. Also I would be curious to see how a "we go" simultaneous turn execution system would work with the game but the "I go, you go" system really works well. So I was worried about nothing.

Again, thanks for a great game!

Sengoku Jidai is in the works which is Pike and Shot in Asia.
It's got generals too.

Also do check out the Extra Nations Mod for more variety in Skirmish and Sandbox Campaign.

There is a user made campaign and army set for War of the Roses

Also, in the Extra Nations Mod there are armies for the Burgundian Swiss wars of the 1470s.

Pike and Shot in Asia. That should be interesting. I kind of hope to see Medieval as well.

I will be very curious to see how generals are handled.

There is some medieval. I noticed the early HRE and Venetians in the extra nations Mod- which IIRC, were antagonists as part of the early Italian Wars. Although I don't think they actually fought a battle.

Well spotted! I missed them out of the Historical Opponents document, but they can still fight against each other in the mod.
