[quote=""Kaiser_von_Nuben""]Most mornings I try to get as much intellectual work as I can out of the way as I prepare to launch my website. I'll have more information on that as it develops; basically it's going to be a place to post my articles, stories, essays and satires.

Anyway, I've been reading a history of criminal punishments lately and this morning I ran across this line about one of our favorite (or hated) AOE3 units: THE PIKEMAN: "When he becomes a pike-bearer, the soldier will have to march in step in order to have as much grace and gravity as possible, for the pike is an honorable weapon, worthy to be borne with gravity and boldness."

The next time I send my pikemen into battle--skewering hussars or burning down the Toshugu Shrine--I will be sure to remember that they are wielding "honorable weapons..." and I will always tell them to march gracefully! Mastering pike/RI micro is a fine art, and it helps to know that your pikes have both "gravity and boldness" :-P[/quote]
