    About the phalanx formation, it's only used by phalangites. The KH used mostly hoplites, reformed and classical ones. The KH phalangitai represent a unit of phalangites trained in the Makedonian fashion, as such they can form a phalanx, or more correctly the Makedonian syntagma. As for recruitment, they are only available after the vanilla Marians hit, or March of Time. This only occurs when SPQR build a large palace at Roma.

    Rhodian slingers appear on the recruitment viewer, just look better. Rhodos is an island in the south-east part of Anatolia, they're only recruitable there. And you can train them, you just need an army or royal barracks.

    No problem, though I would advice you wait until the Marians hit and you can recruit the pahalngites. Then you can overrun the Romaioi ;)

    Actually the March of time happens if rome builds a huge city - governor in one of the starting cities except Rome at that is already a huge city.

    Thumbs up Re: Koinon Hellenon Units

    No, we all agree with you on that point. I think what he was trying to say is that you said the March of Time happens when Rome becomes a huge city. However, that's not true. It happens when the SPQR develops a huge city in Italy, excluding Rome.

    lol, I'm not saying anymore, too confusing.

    The Rhodian Slingers aren't in the Recruitment Guide but so long as I can train them cool.

    Also thanks again for your help.

    What recruitment viewer are you using? The one downloaded from the website or the one that came with EB 1.1? Since you have unit cards, I am guessing it is the former; that one is for EB 1.0, not 1.1. Rhodian slingers were only included in the latest build.
