Basic questions about EB multiplayer

[BelisarAUT]

Another question - when using Hoplites that have swords as secondary weapons - should i always use this swords when i engage them with infantery?

Same with cavalry - is it better to take the secondary sword weapon against cavalry or the spear ? I guess the spear.

Im presuming that the secondary weapon is no AP.

Actually that is not so clear anymore. Some tests indicated that spears might even be better. I cannot give you a conclusive answer here. Just test it out.

It depends. In my experience longswords are superior but most other swords are less good than the lance/spear. But just try it out. ;-)
