Well, I don't need to give them any melee bonus for their secondary weapon (sword) because they have better attack for it than most phalangites, so they should, in theory, be superior sword fighters (I'll have to try it out in custom battle).Currently they have phalanx formation, with shorter spears than macedonian phalangites, light_spear attribute and are better with their secondary weapon... I'm pretty satisfied with them right now.
