@ Intrepid sidekick

As a side note AFAIK "minimum delay" only has an effect on the fire rate for missile units. Are you saying this has a proven effect on hand to hand combat too?
stat_pri 5,5, no, 0, 0, melee, simple, piercing, spear, 25, 1

stat_pri 5,5, no, 0, 0, melee, simple, piercing, spear, 25, 50

I changed the very last value wich was a 1 to a 50 to get the emphasized results

Caligulas unit editor says that stat is the min delay, but from my current understanding may be wrong. Sorry for the confusion on that part.
