Are Longswords a bad counter unit?

I feel like even though Longswords are supposed to counter Eagles, they kinda don't. Eagle warriors move a lot faster and only cost 20 food, which is great in Castle Age. Teching into MAA and LS costs 300f and 105g, whereas the EW upgrade costs 200f 200g.

The militia line is so food heavy that it seems to me you are suffering a set back just by trying to counter eagle play. If you are playing pikes vs knights that tech investment is not as taxing and pikes perform siginificantly better against cavalry than LS against eagles.

It also seems that pikes deny an area while LS don't provide that threat because they are a lot slower than eagles but don't have the super high bonus damage. Do they need a change?

Am I missing something?
