1. This isn't real life again this is for Gameplay Benefits.

MrHobbit1234 wrote: Seriously, these are guerilla warfare fighters not front of the line armies in glittering mail. Also, having a banner bearer would be a waste of fighters, also of food. Again if you can tell the difference between this and this you need alot more than a crest to differentiate them. 3. I mean as far as we know it could just be painted white, and It isn't actually Iron or steel on the handle.

MrHobbit1234 wrote: Why would you use iron that could be used making other weapons on the shaft? It is completely useless and illogical. Remember, Gondor was surrounded on nearly all sides by enemies, they needed everything they could get for the military. 4. Again this isn't real life, yes I know you are to keep things realistic but remember this is a game where you can climb up water and be able to ride boars. Come on. Nothing is really realistic, go with the flow. Also I'm not a fan of Rangers carrying spears.

MrHobbit1234 wrote: Alright then, you should try to carry around sword, spear, and bow and try to be effective in guerilla warfare, tell me how well that works out for you. Also, Mevans seemed to have agreed with my post above. So you are compltely disregarding realism, while I admit that the player is far stronger than anthing that is humanly possible should realism be comptely disregarded?

Also, why do they need a banner bearer unit? What about them that makes them need one, what about the tiny zillionth of a percent that makes them need it?

Spears are a great weapon, they give range and if need be a moderate projectile weapon. Infact I would say spears were far more common in medieval warfare than swords, not only are they lighter and more versitile they also are cheaper and easier to produce! Also, the color of the shaft, save the handle is the extact same as the head!

About Mevan's kudosing your post, he has kudos many posts but they are not all nessicarily planned or added in the mod now are they? I didn't say Spears shouldn't be added, Banner Bearers are there because they help troops and if they are gone, people will just want to suggest it back or something, it's just a game so realism doesn't really exist, and your right about Mevan's kudos to my Post.
