In Rome1 if a phalanx or spear armed cavalry unit swapped to secondary weapon the spear could re-appear any time.
My question is should the player be able to determine if the soldiers automatically go to their secondary weapon and their fore lose the primary spear permanently for that engagement.
For instance you want your cataphracts to go in hard with their lances. If you do not press the "release lances" button then they will only jab at the enemy.
If you do they will go for maximum impact and impale the enemy, losing their spear and having to use secondary for the rest of the battle.
I always wanted this in med2. I hated that shock heavy cavalry kept "re-loading" lances with no support squires etc in sight to give them spares.
