I noticed that the attack speed bonus from the Spirit Way buff does apply to all infantry, but cavalry is an exception.
Horsemen receive the buff, but Lancers and Fire Lancers don’t. In the current late game, Chinese Lancers and Fire Lancers are far from being OP units, so it’s high time this bug got fixed.

As shown in the video, you’ll see that the buff indeed works on all infantry units.
