    Ah, my bad, thanks anyway bovi.

    I've had a first stab at this, there aren't actually that many units concerned here (33 all told).
    It began on seven hills - an EB 1.1 Romani AAR with historical house-rules (now ceased)
    Heirs to Lysimachos - an EB 1.1 Epeiros-as-Pergamon AAR with semi-historical houserules (now ceased)
    Philetairos' Gift - a second EB 1.1 Epeiros-as-Pergamon AAR

    yeah, the idea was simply that units with larger spears (pikes excluded) got a spear attribute, and light spear was for all else. obviously has been dealt with (yes, even precursors: worry not). will be out next time.

    as to your question: spear_bonus_4 is good: I tried spear_bonus_2, but it kept giving me a CTD

    tired of ridiculous trouble with walking animations? then you need my brand newmotion capture for the common man!

    For the time being, I've given everyone with a secondary weapon spear the plain light_spear with no modification. Saves me trying to work out whether or not the unit merits a cavalry bonus beyond what is hardcoded. Besides which, none of the single-weapon spearmen have any bonuses, besides mount effects, so it seemed fair.

    sounds good. I have something else in mind, but this will be only in future installments.

    Is that likely to be in time for the next patch/release?

    don't know. real life issues interrupt work repeatedly.
