BILLMEN technology “takes away Bills from Veteran and Elite Spearmans, which is CONTRADICTORY” (Possible BUG)


Hey, for 9 seasons, many of us have been wondering if the Spearman designs in Imperial Age all used a Bill. Is that correct? And we’ve always asked for new designs for each civ, as originally planned. Am I right?

Now, this design was based on the base English spearman design, which apparently started using Bills as their favorite polearm since the Hundred Years’ War, let’s say its Post-Imperial version. Due to a bug, civ-specific versions, such as the Chinese Ji or the French Poleaxe, aren’t displayed except when charging.

However, now it turns out that when they want to re-represent the English Billman, they do so with a technology that REMOVES their signature Bill in favor of a single-pointed spear.

This is VERY SERIOUS!!!

The technology contradicts what it does.

I don’t think the technology is being implemented well, because visually it doesn’t make sense, so I assume it’s a bug, and if not, I say it again, it’s not right.

I would suggest that Billmen give spearmen a Bill in both Regular (I) and Hardened (II) versions, but not take it away from the Veteran and Elite as is currently the case.
