Phalanxes in version 1.1

[antisocialmunky]

In the end, I think that they are a lighter more flexible hoplite. From doing a few tests in 1.2, they are alot better than they used to be. Still a little redundant though.

I think the scale goes:

Militia Hoplitai
Outrunners(Really Fast)
Iphikratous Hoplitai(Fast)
Classical Hoplitai
Thorakitai Hoplitai

They are an intermediary between outrunners and classicals. You should keep them on the flank to kill horsies and the classicals in the main line to not die. They also have a sword unlike the classicals so they are actually more efficient against infantry. So I guess in the end, use them as flankers, to support your cavalry, kill their cavalry, and switch to swords to flank their main line.
