Lusitani 5th Empire
In this thread you can post and share some simple ideas or concepts that can translate well into animations.
I would like to to propose a more complete and realistic animation to hold spears, banners and some other weapons, both on horseback and on foot.
First, an animation to rest longer spears and banners on when the weapon is not couched or under use. Depending on the characteristics of the weapon, culture, situation... one type should be used over other.
Here are some references:

This is because troops are constricted in movement and can hurt some friendly if they drop down the weapon, also you can easily drop it on the enemy. Shields are also held high to protect from enemy weapon strikes and projectiles. In the front lines a higher stance is also normally used, in case of spears they point at the enemy chest and head, forming a dangerous wall.
