    Default Sword vs. Spear

    Hello: I remember seeing a bonus of sword vs. spear. For example, a hastati gets a bonus fighting barbarian warband in a melee. Can anybody kindly point out how much (if any) this bonus is and better - where to look for such information? Thank you very much.

    The big difference is the time to swing the weapon -- the warband spear is slower than the Hastati. Look in the export_desc_unit text file in the data directory.

    Knives and swords are the same speed. Warband spears and axes are slower swings.

    So this means, say, that Hastati get off more hits than Spear Warband in the same time frame?
