I'm trying to avoid the sarrissa formation for "classical hoplites." But if the Iphikratous Hoplitai unit uses the sarrissa like the phalangites, then I can just add the sarrissa trait to it.

(By sarrissa, I mean their pikes prevent the enemy from getting close in a frontal attack...TW's classical hoplite mod somewhat resembles a sarrissa, but the spears are held overhanded and they fight like regular spearmen)

Do you have any screenshots? I'm currently editing my descr unit file and want to see what they would look like...
Thanks
Here ya go:





Phalangitai vs Iphik. (notice longer spears for phalangitai)



Iphik. vs Hoplitai with TWFanatic's mod (longer spears for Iphik.)




Also, phalangitai have the first 5(?) ranks fighting, Iphik 3 and Hoplitai 2.
