    Default Any Suggestions for Hoplite Tweaking?

    So I plan to tweak the "classical" hoplite units (non-sarissa phalangites) a bit since most of them can't seem to maintain a coherent formation.

    For all the classical hoplites with only 1 weapon (spear) such as the triari, spartan hoplites, etc, I gave them all
    the short pike attribute of the TW Fanatic's hoplite mod. They have +2 shields, -.02 lethality, and -2 armor + short pike attribute.
    With this combination, they are extremely powerful from the front and weak from the sides/rear...as hoplites should be. Best of all, the units stick together and form a nice and tight shield-wall formation (with this trait, the hoplite unit doesn't break apart and expand like they would normally do)

    Now for the classical hoplites with 2 weapons (spear + sword), I can't give them the short pike attribute. However, I still want them to maintain a more coherent formation and make them stronger from the front.

    Any suggestions on the formation style, shield/lethality/armor values?


    thanks
