Re: Polearms, the way I see it polearms/spears are one of the hard counters to cavalry charges that Mel Gibson showed us in Braveheart. However, M&B doesn't have a feature to really implement a spearman just posting up his spear at an oncoming freight train of equine death, so instead there's a flat multiplier to its damage to make them devastating.
This results in a game mechanic that enables polearms to be a hard counter to cavalry, but is done in a awkward way. Thankfully the mod allows you to disable the extra damage, which I do in my game because I can't stomach the peasant swinging a stick around and gibbing my war horse.
