Sword and spear units

[Thaatu]

Why some units /like my classical hoplites/ fight still with spears even if i press alt button? I see that they have also swords on belt........

Most hoplite style spearmen don't have a secondary weapon, because that would cause them to use their swords when not fighting. It would make hoplites a little too ineffective against cavalry charges.

there are only some elite units who have both weapons. All Hoplite units have only spears (the sword in the belt is only for decoration)

swords by ALT-click, which is a safe bet for no weapon-switching at all methinks.

for me it works, i attack infantry units with normal attack click (after some time i need to click again beause of the weapon change after the knockdown), and use the alt click against ponys.

.... and use the alt click against ponys.

I think u mean "horsies"

I don't quite get why people seem to think Hypaspists don't use their swords? Just letting them do their job the way they like it best... And see: they will be cutting their way through using swords.
