Yeah, I fight lots of wars with swords. I fight quite a few with archers, too. From everything I've read around here, the AI values offensive units quite differently from defensive units, so even for a builder, it makes sense to build more offensive than defensive units, if only for the deterrent effect.
I guess that makes sense. I've definitely cut down from what I used to do, which was get 2-3 spearmen per city, no matter what.

I might still get too many, but spearmen just seem convenient to me.
