Tell me about it. I think my peasants are outnumbered 10 to 1 by soldiers.
The margin would be a lot closer if I decided to count my wolfpack and
forestmen as peasants, though. ;)

I don't like Silver Swords, either, but for different reasons. The silver
layering begins to flake off very quickly, and it really annoys me. Otherwise,
they make perfect Claymores! :) BTW, Claymores and Flamberges could get up to
six feet long, so a sword larger than the wielder is not unheard of.

But spearmen, Pikemen, and Archers were more common than swordsmen. That is
why I have so few swordsmen(1). :)
