is there not already a bonus for javelin vs mounted anyway? and besides the game's engine not being able to make this an option anyway (fighting with pilla or pilum in melee, forgive me any insult to romani lovers or historians alike i love history but i was taught in a public school in the boonies.) from what i learned the pilla and pilum were made specificaly to bend after impact to hinder the enemy infantry and make using shield or paring a good throw limb unwieldy/inopperable? does not make sense to me to save my short throwing spear for a frontal charge when it is meant to bend/break so as to not be used again. it could be counter productive for all i know.

and that is my two cents
