they arent phalanxes anymore....

so what happened?

Give them the short_pike attribute in the EDU.
That makes them a phalanx again and keeps them manoeuvrable

thanks...

that still doesn't answer the question....

what happened? Was it a bug, or was it intended? If it was intended, can someone please elaborate?

Basically Neo, the Koinon hoplites and Getai did not use a standard phalanx. Their's wasn't a Macedonian phalanx. One was the predacessor to it, and the the Getic was something way mobile. Since there isn't a mobile block formation to use, they axed the phalanx option.

God is displeased with the Getai. that's the explanation for the lack of the aformentioned attribute

anyways, Is it possible to give infantry the wedge formation?
