"Pikes are good against melee units but not so good against ranged units."

Why exactly is that? I'm no expert, but in using pikes, I've noticed the opposite to be true. Due to their long range, pikes are most effective when used at a distance from one's opponent. This means they are good against archers, who try to keep a distance. They can also be good against one or two melee units, but if you get a bunch, it's hard to keep them all away from you. So unless gives a good reason not to, I'd be inclined to change that statement.
