Well, CA has occassionally said things that weren't 100% accurate. The spear bonus vs cavalry is 8. Perhaps Jerome said that the general bonus was +4 (+8 vs cav and -4 vs inf = 4) ?


@ tk-421 : Tested a bit more and I still get what I got in the complementary tests I did after Xerex made the 'base' ones: scrub-modifier only gives its bonus on scrub, not on any other ground-types. We're lucky to have an entirely scrub-covered map in FATW and we can know for sure what ground we fight on. As Xerex said, it's a low-grass, arid climate that is between rocky, desert and plains. Not very illuminating, but I hope it helps a bit. I'd imagine your Baktrian provinces would have it, but again I'm not a mapper.


A slight update in the guide, added "skirmish" as an option for class. It's not used at all in vanilla, but it could be useful, especially for formation guys that don't want to go the long way round (if there is anyone else except for me that's actually bothering with battlefield AI, that is).
