Milnahts' half-naked bodies break lances!

and the lances seems reluctant to see Gaesatae's wee wee... they still alive after a lance pierce them for the first time

Babylonian Heavy Spearmen (Shipri Tukul I believe)

Anyhow you want to avoid using alt click for most units that have a longsword primary and spear secondary. This mainly applies to Arjos, Solduros, Massalian Hoplites, Hypastpistai, and the Getai infantry elites...Men of Ordes or something like that. More may come to mind, but those units are all elites or good regulars and units most people would be rather fond of using, so watch out.

Would it be useful to disable some secondaries? For instance my Hypaspists keep switching from longsword to spear, rendering them weaker (ofc not against cav)

Just halt and reorder the attack every minute because the soldiers that fall are the ones that switch to spears (as if they had lost their sword...).

The unit with the most useless 2nd alt-click weapon? Sacred Band infantry.

It has a spear attack of 17, sword attack of 13 (no AP). Both weapons have a lethality of 0.13 and 0.13.

Even taking into account the -3 the spear gets for fighting against infantry, the spear is still better than the Sacred Band's sword against all opponent types. There is absolutely no reason to use the Sacred Band's alt-click sword in any situation.

Too bad it starts using the sword once it "drops" its spear when the S-Band soldier is shoved down to the ground and gets back up... Gotta love the engine!
