    Default Phalanx vs Hoplite Light Spear Attrib

    I've been noticing this for a little while that Roman Legionaires fair better at not dying versus phalanxes than regular hoplites do with guard mode on. Is this due to the light spear trait giving -4 against other infantry or some other effect?
    Fighting isn't about winning, it's about depriving your enemy of all options except to lose.

    You're probably right now that I think about it. That -4 sure does something.

    I think that was caused by a bug, which means that you can manually walk your soldiers right into the thick sarissa line, and when touch your enemies (the Phalangitai), they'll fight with Swords than with their Sarissa...
