    But more on topic, in my experience they're actually good spearmen (they have 15 or 16 morale while the Sabaean levies have 13. Plus the javelins, better discipline, and armour). And anyway, in EB II they have bows, which will make them more dangerous.
    They take such high casualties all the time and they are supposed to be your best spearmen. They take a lot of damage form arrows, javelins and even holding a line, they will take high casualties.

    Bows and swords or bows and spears?

    PS. What imperialistic alliance?

    Bows and spears, as can be seen in the preview.

    I thought since you mentioned "brown coats" you might get this popcultural reference... Anyway.

    Hmmm bow and swords would have made me happier.

    As for the alliance thing. I don't know anything about nazi paramilitary groups and its been along time since I've watched firefly

    I said brown coats cause there's no better way to describe them and most people here seem to call them that. :)

    Anyway, the brown coats represent a "heavy"infantry component for the Saba. However it doesn't really suit the fighting style of Saba. And as line infantry they are too expensive and not really Heavy enough. That's why I asked why the swords from the early version was changed into spears (ill try and find the image I saw). As swordsmen they could have provided a valuable shock infantry unit for saba
