Let me first say that this is a awesome mod! I'm just starting to explore it a little and it is obvious that a massive amount of work has been invested in it. I find that my performance in battles is much more imortant now, since everything is more expensive and casualties really hurt money-wise. This is why I have tried to use my units to their maximum potential and I have some questions in that regard...

Is it possible to make units that have sword primary/spear secondary to deploy with spear defensively to get the braced bonuses? And in what situations should I have them use spear or sword (I know about ALT+right-click). Is it just as simple as sword vs infantry and spear vs cavalry, or is there som other hidden bonuses apart from attack value? Like attack speed or lethality for the different weapons?
