All units that have a lance and yet function with no range look very strange. Devs should fix this. It irks me that Monaspa is not having any difference from Knights when they clearly use different weapons.
All lancers need to have atleast something in common.
Trolls are funny… wait it isnt opposite day!?

I am not interested in you.
A range of 1 is supposed to be a long pike, the kamayuk is clearly similar to macedonian sarissophores
Lances that long would be very rare for cavalry, winged hussars had some but later (it got that long to counter pikemen that only became common at the tail end of the AOE2 timeline), it wasn’t the norm for medieval cavalry
So no, not all lances & spears should get such a long range, maybe having 0.5 range so that only 2 layers of spearmen could make a UU halfway between the spear line and the kamayuk (say, the swiss pikeman) but not for regular units. And how to balance that, in massed combat having a range of 1 is insanely strong.
Perhaps give them slight anti cavalry bonus? Eagle warriors have such small spears but even they are not excluded from the rule. New devs seen to be taking too much liberty.
