    Default Hoplites?

    Are the various hoplite units in EBII going to be able to finally fight as a phalanx?

    Because it gets annoying seeing them charge like a rabble of un-organized units when they are clearly spartan hoplites.
    Do you hate Drug Cartels? Do You believe that the Drug War is basically a failure? Do you think that if we Legalized the Cannabis market, that use rates would drop, we could put age limits on cannabis, tax it, and other wise regulate it? Join The ORG Marijuana Policy Project!

    In American politics, similar to British politics, we have a choice between being shot in our left testicle or the right testicle. Both parties advocate pissing on the little guys, only in different ways and to a different little guy.

    This area is still under experimentation.

    It works, not fully satisfactorily, but it does give acceptable results.

    But as I said, the area is still under experimentation, and any answer at this point would be premature and inexact.

    Have you guys tried fast attack animation/low lethality? It results in a slow push due to the enemy units being knocked backwards. Though I'm not exactly sure that would work to be honest due to the new animation system in MIITW.:-\.
    Fighting isn't about winning, it's about depriving your enemy of all options except to lose.

    Well I figure Shield Wall is nice though the AI wont use it and it will result in your whole line breaking apart since units can't be locked.

    I sure hope you guys will give the Hoplites something special to show their formation was different. The same for the Iphikratous Hoplitai.

    We cannot mod lethality in EBII. The MTW2 engine doesn't have that stat anymore (or at least it is hidden).

    Then could we have a premature and inexact answer ?

    well, EB is more historically accurate, so the Spartans do that.(duuh, the Spartans never used the Phalanx)
