Question About Hoplites
Ive downloaded Europa Barbarorum today, installed and shockingly when i enter the game as the helenistic greeks i find hoplite spearmen with illogical positioned spears (holding them over the head), is this like some random glitch or were people oddly muscled enough to acctualy hold spears above their heads whilst having sheilds on (the shields could be used to brace the spears and prevent the majority of movement).. slightly mystifying because ive trained with a staff spear with my ninjitsu master, and i can use a spear quite proficiently. the spear would be almost impossible to use unless you were using two hands with the left (or right) hand supporting slightly towards the spear head and the right hand (or left depending on if your kaky handed) holding closer to the end of the spear.
just a random question, because it is utterly illogical to hold a spear over your head simply because of the depth perception problems, But hey odd things work sometimes if trained enough, like that lady that can pop her eyes out a massive distance
