[Brave Brave Sir Robin]

Apparantly Mr. T took his look from Bes, an Egyptian protector God.

Sorry JMRC but I was joking about it since I'd never seen a symbol like that. Never heard of this god, I'll have to look him up. Thanks Moros!

Also the East Arabian Spearmen among others look fantastic!

Just a small clarification, to avoid some confusion: the engine allows having spears and swords in the same unit, but doesn't deal very well with it. He runs with one weapon, then switches to charge with the other, then switches again during the melee. So, we avoid this combination when we need a real spearmen unit. Still, we have a few cases where we kept the overhand spear and the sword in the same unit.

This sounds very similar, if not identical, to the way RTW's engine handles such units. For example, Solduros or Hypaspistai.
