The Phalanx and Moral

[Centurio Nixalsverdrus]

Why would the phalanx in EB need the scaring-attribute? The opponent already throws himself brainlessly against the sarissai, dies and routs, so the phalanx basically serves its purpose. Also I think about how difficult it is to get two lines of phalanxes fight each other instead of interrupting senselessly. If two phalanxes with the scaring-attribute meat each other head on, I can imagine guys like Pantodapoi Phalangitai rout after two seconds just because one side's general blows the trumpet. That would be ridiculous. I think phalanxes are quite balanced in EB.

If anything, the height advantage effect should be (drastically) reduced. I'm quite fed up with my Argyraspides getting torn apart by Pantodapoi Phalangitai.
