[vartan]

Hold alt only when moving or also when attacking?

the alt attack seem to work - the phalanx will point towards the enemy and to an extent push against them

I've never done tha Alt-thing myself to be honest. Or probably haven't done it conciously, so I may try it as well.

Whattt?!? ALT-moving was basic Hellenic army subjects since the Vanilla..... maybe you are too often use it and you forgot why did u use that?

[Maion Maroneios]

I have never felt the need to do this, really. I do what I do best, and that is simply pinning and hammering. I focus way more on my flanks and cavalry arms, leaving the phalanx pin and occasionally slowly grid down the enemy.

The phalanxes still stop when they touch if htey are in defense or they bunch up on the pikes and die. For maximum effectiveness in phalanx vs phalanx, you really need to micromanage.
