There are only few sources of spearmen for the Ghurids: some mercenary spearmen iaround Kerman, Ahdath spearmen in Gwadar, Bharat spearmen and Sindhi spearmen in Hindustan and Sindh. The only decent spearmen are the armoured Bharat spearmen, except that at around 1210, as the Mongols are about to spring onto the scene, the cities of Hindustan stop producing Bharat spearmen, whether armoured or light. The situation was similar in a previous Ghazni campaign. Was this a conscious decision to make the Mongol threat more serious? Is it perhaps for other gameplay reasons or historical reasons?
