Guys... If you count you'll realize that makes for 3 weapon types. While we are at it, shouldn't we then also represent that just about all assorted reliable spear-wall type of infantry (e.g. Thureophoroi, Hoplitai) carries a side arm for close quarters and were just as proficient with them as their usual opponents? And should we then also not factor in the axe/mace/longsword side arm of lance/bow cataphracts?
Apart from the fact that the statting system will need a major reworking anyways because of how animations do affect stats and how lethality appears to be out of the game; this amounts to pretty much a stat re-write that has little to do with what is actually in the game. (In the game spearmen don't have swords, lance/bow cataphracts are limited to their lance/bow, and legionaries don't have heavier pointy sticks than throwing pila.)
