    Well Dayve, it's pretty obvious that you have self-esteem issues. So remember this saying:

    It's not how long big your spear is--- it's how you use it.

    Think of it this way. I play as Koinon Hellenon quite a bit. They have hoplitai and Spartiartai. But the Makedonians are all proud over there with their huge sarissas. So the Makedonians march over and are like "Ha, take a look at their puny spears!" So they march into Greece, lay siege to Athens, and try to screw everyone over with the're long spears.

    But guess what: they all ran away from Greece! Why? It's because even though the Greeks had short spears, they still screwed the Makedonians over in the end (due to flanking and various other tactics under my leadership).

    Now in real life, the Makedonians conquered Greece due to the success of the pike phalanxes in combination with heavy cavalry. But still, guys with long spears get screwed over by guys with short spears in close combat.

    Now I know what you're thinking: "How do I use my spear?" Well, the Asian peoples had the same problem and the Kama Sutra solved the problem with creative methods. I'm not going to describe it here, but basically, it tells us that size doesn't always matter when it comes to getting the job done!

    So, go out there and learn how to use your spear!
