    Default The light_spear question

    As it turned out in this thread, there was some sort of miscommunication around the release of 2.01 in the team and spear units didn't uniformly have their weapon changed from spear to light_spear as intended. This isn't game-breaking by any means, but it does have an impact on the performance (and especially cohesion) of spear units.

    It'll be corrected in the next patch, but I'm thinking about having a go at editing the EDU for a submod in the meantime, since I make a lot of use of spearmen and this would have an appreciable impact. I'd imagine other people might like to share it as well.

    Which leaves me with one question (for @bovi, perhaps) before I make the trawl through editing all the spear units: should they uniformly have the spear_bonus_x attribute, since unlike spear, light_spear doesn't give any bonus against cavalry by default? I was thinking of giving them all spear_bonus_4, or should it vary by quality of unit? Perhaps levy units should have 2, regular units 4 and elite units 6?
