It seemed reasonable you might not have seen this event, given the
wide, weird and wonderful set of events in KoDP, until I read your
e-mail address... Are you telling me I was mistaken? I'd accept that,
I'm not doubting you, but if I am it's a very persistent delusion (if
lacking a bit in detail...)! No, I don't remember any Black Spear (do
I want to?).

Hadn't noticed that... nice detail... They don't have one for my
Triceratops HEAVY cavalry though :)

A firm fact for all low-tech societies... However, I was thinking that
the use of the sword would STRENGTHEN its power...
