Go easy, Bungus boy, joeskip is asking a legitimate question. He's not bumping in order to say "woo hoo, nice unit!" or some odd thing.
@joeskip, I don't know that this spearman is supposed to come from any particular region. Seems to me that it's only supposed to be a generically "European" spearman and that's about it. I think the Rise and Rule mod uses this spearman for the French, Spanish and Celts, whereas Germany and Scandinavia get Kinboat's "Germanic Spearman" graphic instead (and the Romans and other Mediteranean or Near Eastern civs just get the usual "Spearman" graphic).
