3.4 EDU - SUGGESTIONS

[Vlixes]

The point is that the spear was their main weapon...
Removing it is like saying: bugger the sarissa, just give xiphos to the phalangitai...

Evidence for that? Why is it then secondary an not primary weapon? I really doubt that a barbarian heavy inf will carry spears and not swords as primary weapon. The spear is a defensive weapon compared with the sword. And is not the same. Phalanxes have sarissa as primary and determinant weapon, it defines the functionality of the unit. Spear has not the same role for a germanic heavy inf. And, if you have evidence on the use of spears as primary weapon, then you must know what was the role of this handicaped heavy inf, do you?

The engine is what it is, you just have to deal with it...

Quite like saying: the error is there and I've not intention of fixing it.
