Gah! Spears Gah!

*looks at Arkell 's army*

j/k mate, use what makes sense to you. My point to all new online players is that spears (Spearmen, Feudal Sargents, Order Foot, Saracens, whatever, any unit with spears) is that they have notoriously low morale, poor killing power, and are relatively expensive for what you get (in other words low value). Cav are adequate anticav, polearms even better.

That said, many experienced players (including ichi) use spears from time to time depending on the situation.
