A lance was a very useful weapon of the medieval knight and horsemen they were also very effective at charging on horseback , breaking enemy formations and killing most infantry that gets in the way also even piercing through armor and mail. Even if a soldier survived a blow from a charging lancer it would sustain heavy injuries from the blow.
So I suggest a lancer charge ability to deal great damage to infantry with the cooldown of 3 (because lances tended to break after being thrusted , when broken the horsemen would use swords or warhammers)..like the pegasus charge a ability on aof.

Lancer was created as anti-mounted unit. It's just unfortunate usage of a name.
Real lance charge would be actually used by knight unit, but it's represented in the game as bonus vs most foot units (with the exclusion of pure anti-mounted polearm infantry).
Addition of such ability would require massive balance change.
