Civilopedia entry

A pike is a menacing weapon. Now imagine a pike thrust with the full force of a charging horse. This describes a lance wielded by a lancer. The term has had multiple meanings over the years, from the heaviest medieval cavalry to the lighter-armored cavalry of later years. Here, we reference more of the former. Where a knight might charge into battle with a broadsword, lancers were skilled at a mass charge which proved nearly impossible to resist – at least, until the charge ran out of steam, the horses were stalled, or an arquebusier or crossbowman pulled off one good shot. When disarmed or stationary, a lancer was only as good as his saber.
