    Default From RTW TO EB

    Well as I switched i noticed that many units lost a special ability, or I just havnt found them in EB yet but did they take many special abilities away?

    Like the General I remember him having the ability to stop retreating units with a horn call....and many spearmen had the phalanx formation

    Huh? I don't think they've done away with special abilities. I can phalanx perfectly fine, though my general's rally doesn't seem to work very much. Just press "F" to have them do it, if they can. Have to be phalangites or phalanx

    Cool store, bro! I want some ham.
    No ham, pepsi.
    They make deli slices of frozen pepsi now? Awesome!
    You also need to purchase a small freezer for storage of your pepsi.
    It runs on batteries. You'll need a few.
    Uhh, I guess I won't have pepsi then. Do you have change for a twenty?

    Are you referring to the fact the default settings hide the command interface in battle mode?

    Well, just hover the cursor at the top of the screen and you will find all the comands and special abilities again. Alternatively learn the short cut keys.

    A - fire at will
    C - more spaced out formation for dealing with missiles
    D - guard mode
    R - Run
    F - special, includes general's horn, phalanx, cantabrian circle, testudo? (I never used it hence the ?)
    W - withdraw
    S - Skirmish mode
    Ctr+T - increase speed
    P - cheat mode on
    +/- - zoom

    I think that's everything important?

    Well im assuming that the EB team found that many of those special abilties to be VERY ahistorical. Also they were probably a pain in the ass to recode from RTW to EB.

    Well jeez, what other special abilities are there? Phalanxes, are obviously historic and what generals don't rally their troops?

    Rally troops is still in, he just needs to switch minimal UI off.

    Phalanx was taken away because it's hardcoded that phalanx formation makes units use their spears underhand, and hoplites used spears overhand. Only phalangites used it underhand.
