phalangitai and missile in the woods

[seienchin]

1-think about Alexander Campaign of India phalanxes fought in the forest and they won though nearly Alex died.

2- think about robin hood he ambushed soldiers in the forest.

so they are logical but phalanx armies should have a disadvantage like cavalry while phalanx mode on it may be coded in EDU but if you code phalanx has this advantage wether phalanx mode is on or not so current engine limit give no chance to us.

but archers should be less effective I agree but in ambushes they should have a surprise attack bonus. but AFAIK there is no game engine with that bonus.

1, Thats only in the Movie .... ^^

2. Yes, but Robin Hoods soldier didnt fight in formation like the ones in EB. Buts that the problem with the Rome engine. But anyway units in forests get a bonus against arrows or javelines. But again you cant see it cause in the Rome engine all Missile fly at the target no matter if they hit or not. But you get less casualties.
