Why haven't the +4 attack lt.spear attribute not been removed?
I heard somewhere that, in the midst of game balancing, all the light spear units, virtually every non-sword infantry, was given +4 attack to compensate for an error made when it placed the units as heavy spear. (Since heavy spear are given -8 attack from the engine, a +4 was needed to reduce it to reasonable terms). However, they eventually just got switched to light spear, due to its better formation mechanics, but they forgot to remove the bonus! Because of this, a lowly, levy-hunter spear man has the same attack as a middle-classed swordsman...
So, why hasn't such an obvious error been fixed?
