    Default Adding Frighten_mounted to Sarissa units

    Well, because that discussion in "Elephants going rampage" but then, the discussion shifts into about how effective spear can deter cavalry units, I gonna some experience on adding "frighten_mounted" on phalangitai units... as expected, some elite cavalry (kataphraktoi & hetairoi) can't push themself against the pikes anymore (they actually do it for some time and then routs)... but I got a little problems that is very funny...

    When I add frighten_mounted ability to my humble Phalangitai Deuteroi, and build a normal battleline with them, any lesser light cavalry (such as thraikioi hippeis, and assortment of barbarian light cavalry, as well as hippakontistai), now are fled rather instantly each time I order them to charge the phalanx line.... FROM BEHIND....

    Is there any sort how to made this unit is frightening only from the front?
