 ===On foot===
-On foot the lance is a very poor weapon. It is slow to move and if an enemy gets inside your guard you have real problems. Archers shouldn't be that much of a concern; by the time you're within range of them they'll have changed to their fists, leaving you to either stab or punch them to death while blocking with what remains of your shield. Melee foes are a bigger concern, and once they get inside your guard you may well be done for. You should pick up a sword as quickly as possible.
+The lance has the same principle as a spear: Superior reach but poor speed. Using it effectively on foot requires you to holster your shield and use it with two hands. The trick with using the lance effectively is to keep your distance and wait for an enemy opening to strike. Its reach allows you to put an end to the charge of an enemy horseman with a well placed stab.
+The lance is a poor infantry weapon overall and is only effective for taking out cavalry.
