is this another bugs?

i found out that Pontus phalanxe pikemen is stronger compare to other phalanxe pikemen.Here is their attributes:

pontus phalanxe pikemen:
men in a unit(huge size)=161
attack=8
charge=6

defence=16
armor=6
defence skill=5
shield=5

recruitment cost=470
upkeep=170


others phalanxe pikemen(Seleucid,Macedonia,Thracian)
men in a unit(huge size)=240
attack=8
charge=6

defence=13
armor=6
defence skill=5
shield=2

recruitment cost=580
upkeep=250


is this the correct figures????:help:

It makes no sense from the realism point of view (actually it's idiotic), but the unit is only 160 men (while other phalnx pikemen are 240) and CA had to somehow make up for this. So they made their shield worth 5 instead of 2...

yeah, I always thought that was odd too.
How do they compare to egyptian phalangites?
