In medieval times... nobody used phalanx just because it was to immobile!
well, let him know what to do-not give the guy a historical lecture
es. he wants to know if its hardcoaded, or can be reintroduced?
es. he wants to know if its hardcoaded, or can be reintroduced?I do believe it is hardcoded, and wouldn't work because of you can't have the stats: long_spear , verylong_spear, short_spear
RTW's phlanax formation was replaced by M2's Spear wall, it's hard coded and unchangeable.
Closest thing is to remove a pike units spear wall formation (note also you need to remove the long_pike/short_pike weapon attribute) and also remove thier secondary weapon.
If you do that, like RTW's phalanx they will take any non-pike head-on regardless of stats. Major downside is unlike the phalanx they have no particular weakness and effectively become an uber-unit without further tweaking, setting the attack delay to about 75 seems to be an effective balance for starters, though head-on even the weakest pike is still a little too powerfull.
