swords or spears

[mcantu]

Don't spear-armed (not lance-armed) cavalry get a bonus against cavalry when using it against other cavalry?

Aren't swords only useful against infantry, given the penalty spear-users generally get against infantry?

1. No, there is no spear bonus vs cavalry for other cav units

2. As of EB 1.0 the spear attribute that gave the attack penalty against infantry was removed (however the +4 attack that EB gave to all spear units to negate that bonus remained; IMO leaving the spear units with an unfair advantage). The light_spear attribute that spearmen units currently have gives them +8 defense against cavalry and -4 defense vs infantry
