The problem is that they currently use the under-hand animation (They are supposed to replicate hoplite tactics, thus over-hand thrusts are more preferrable), and it is known that giving any secondary weapon in combination would cause problems.

Uh... the Babylonian spear-and-mace guys and those Hai royal guards with their spear-and-sword combo use underhand spears already. Have used as far as I've seen them in the game. You mean there are more problems involved than the usual "weapon swap" thing all double-armed infantry have to live with ?

Probably. I don't know, underhand-animations seem to work just fine in combination with secondary weaponry, but I read somewhere that there were issues swapping weapons for hoplite-type units with the overhand-animation. If it is possible to fix, I don't know, all I do know is that it has caused a lot of headache in the internal forums.

Lessee... that'd cover around all the high-end Celtic infantry as well as the Hypaspistai-style Hellenistic foot guards then. But don't those work more or less as intented these days, with the "spear compensation bonus" added to the spears to keep the weapon-swap thing from nerfing their melee prowess against infantry ?

Yeah, we can do two weapons and the overhand animation.

Re: Kardaka Arteshtar
Well, no one would be happier than I to have these guys equipped in the way they were intended to from the beginning. I thought the concessions we had to make were of technical nature, relative to difficulties in alt-switching primary and secondary weapons, but hell what do I know about it
