    Default Xiphos, Dory, Sarissa and all that

    It seems that the lethality of a unit is entirely linked to the weapon it is using (correct me if I am wrong) so I am planing to remove the lethality from the cards altogether and instead write down the explicit name of the weapon used.

    So far I managed to idenitfy the following:

    Phalanx units:
    Sarissa: 0.17
    ("shorter sarissa"): 0.15

    Spearmen:
    Dory (Hoplite spear, overhand): 0.13
    Standard spear, underhand: 0.125
    Germanic spear (?) : 0.135

    Swords:
    Longsword: 0.225
    Shortsword (Gladius/Xiphos): 0.13
    Kopis/Falcata: 0.1(1) AP
    Knife: 0.04

    Axes:
    Axe: 0.165 (AP)
    Falx: 0.26 (AP)

    Cavalry Lances and Spears:
    Lances(not sure about names): Ranges from 0.3 to 0.4 AP
    Xyston: 0.4 AP
    Spears: 0.15


    I would be grateful if someone could confirm that I am thinking along the right lines and maybe fill in the gaps.

    We can clone a sheep but we cannot clone a single photon.
