Unstoppable Army

[SwissBarbar]

An all phalanx and a bit of cavalry army or an all-HA (preferably some heavy cavalry with bows as well, in addition to the light HAs) army would do very well against the Romani in EB.

all HA - yes

all phalanx - nay. Phalanx - even elite ones - are too slow and immobile. Roman heavy infantery would just hold the phalanx in melee, killing the few cavallery (not a problem even against heavy cavallery, with some triarii and some pedites-javelins thrown in their back). Without flank-protection even the hugest phalanx army is easily outflanked. A charge in the rear of the phalany and the battle is over.

Example:







edit: OK, i just see.... against the stupid AI you would do well with an all phalanx army, thats right
