Units not using their polearms

[m33tballa]

Units like Menavlions, for example don't use their polearms unless their fighting Cavalry, they'll use their inferior swords instead. This is still an issue from 1.5.4 nobody has been talking about! How is this not an easy fix?

This issue is present in Multiplayer as well, in Captain Mode, Palatine Guard have been rendered useless due to this.

Yes, I've noticed that, which makes sense to me. Use swords against infantry, use spears against cavalry.

Their swords are secondary weapons, Menavlion, Glaive, Voulge, they're all superior weapons their meant to use, being that they're shock infantry. This is not a positive outcome.
