how is everyone?

I need help with two issues:

Issue 1: I hate how my Sweboz general's bodyguard is always switching to their spears in battle since there's supposed to be a penalty for using spears against enemy infantry units, so I got into export descr units or whatever it's called and took their spears away. I go back to playing the game, and bam! they're using spears and when I check the file again, somehow their secondary weapon is back. How did that happen? How can I get rid of the spears? And do they switch because the spear has a higher attack rating? If so, will making the sword higher keep them from switching?

Issue 2: I keep reading in classical history how so many people lived well into their 80s. Some even managed to live into their 90s, however, according to Herodotus the average lifetime was 80. Considering that it wasn't as if their calendar years were 1/2 of ours or anything, I wanna tweak the aging system in EB so that my generals live longer. Anyone know how to do this?
