How Effective Do You Think Militia Spearmen, and Spearmen In General Should Be?

[Jambo]

Now i like the balance that the shield fix brings, in combination with some changes i've made(increased mass of horses but reduced charge bonus). Mailed Knights will beat Town Militia, Spear Militia, Sergeant Spearmen etc., but will struggle against Armoured Sergeants their dismounted equivalent. They will also wipe out any unit without a shield easily, and will do pretty well against Dismounted Feudal Knights. Armoured Sergeants will be beaten by the better later heavy cav, which will also beat units like Dismounted Chivalric Knights, but they themselves will be beaten by Pikemen. I think its a nice balance, makes for good gameplay and is fairly historical.

Lusted,

Presumably you've now incorporated the shield to armour fix?

How did you rebalance afterwards, particularly with reference to the 2-handed axe and sword units?

Edit: And missile units for that matter!
