1250: sword and spear are similar melee units that is useful to make meat shield.

1300: swordmen is good to crack rams.

1350: if you want to go full pop attack with rams at min 13-14, an enemy with swordmen is harder to crush.  In this strategy it is common to postpone hack resistance upgrade in favor to earlier attack, but swordmen in enemy is strong in hack attack.

1400: when rushing with melee cav, run if you see spearmen, fight if you see swordmen.  I think Iberian having swormen is important to balance out the initial wall defence.  If iberian has spearmen, it becomes almost impossible to rush them.

1500+: thoughts?
