thanks for the tip :)
Well i've had to use infantry as they attacked me before my economy even got running, but i've managed, now i've switched over to ha's, some archers and some meele infantry to hold the 1 or 2 elite phalanks in check (i know this isn't great, had a pontus campaign in an earlier version) but it's working, aint taking any serious casualties, but i'm switching to only ha's/fm's in a bit and use inf for garrisons :)
