"Pikemen reporting!"

-A Pikemen exiting the Training centre

The Pikemen is the basic infantry of the SRA.

Tactical analysis

 * They shall not pass: Armed with long ge pikes and recruited in numbers. The Seuijin Pikemen forms the backbone of the military, their weapons spearing all but the strongest infantry armor
 * Wall of spears: Additional they can form a phalanx, making them nigh impervious to anything short of carpet bombing while making them nigh impervious to anything short of carpet bombing while making any charge towards them at the front suicide as infantry and cavalry gets skewered while all but the heaviest vehicle will stall upon impact
 * Having a quarrel: In the event they choose to garrison the Pikemen will use their arquebus to shoot at any approaching force, and in the event any infantry tries to charge in will soon meet a wall of spearheads
 * They got around: But the militia are trained to fight in formation. Meaning that they efficiency drops if they lost half their squad, alongside slow speed, a deathly vulnerability to flanks, and being completely stuck at melee range with mediocre damage means they must rely on artillery and support infantry to shine
