I'm sorry if this topic has been asked before, but how do you fight pike phalanxes without other phalanxes? I want to know what tactics you use.
I mean, hoplites on hold while other infantry or cavalry go by the back can beat pike phalanxes, but I wanted to use other infantry to beat it.
I'm playing Hayasdan, with is a very diferent faction I usualy play (KH for the most part), so I wanted to use diferent tactics. I have my house rules, not using phalanx and not relying in horse archers to much.
The phalanx mode has a annoying thing that, when attacked by the back, if they are not busy fighting in the front, they turn back and form a wall spears like nothing was there, what brings us back to the beginning. i think they shouldn't be able to do that, but that's hardcoded (I wish that in EBII they won't do that)
Please help.
Sorry for my english has it is very rusty, and sorry for repeating the word "phalanx" over and over.
Thanks in advance.
