[EB] Phalanx Noob Box - And how to beat it?

[Fluvius Camillus]

Well, you really want Fluvius to respond, AFAIK he is MP champion is he not?

@Fluvius
Kom op, ik weet dat je dit wel eens eerder gezien hebt, als je zo goed ben in MP als zij beweren.

Well here I am, Champion Fluvius, the undefeated Batavian! I must admit I'm very good at MP, but not the champion by points.

After reading most posts here I think a lot has been said. Although one thing has been left out:

Attacking his phalanx with yours from a different angle. If you attack from a corner with your sarissas, his ones will not reach you, but you can kill them. The corners are the weak points, you can soften them up with your phalanx or pump HL and AP in for a breach. If you want to get in head on, your best shot would be a big unit which will sacrifice itself to disrupt the phalanx. If you charge in with some cheap african elephants into his line, then they will probably die, but with the holes created, you can pump in your heavy infantry using the click behind tactic or exploit the gap in any other way.

However, maybe the box I picture is much different from the one you encounter. It would seem like a good idea to me that we head over to the MP battleground and you do exactly the same tactic he employs, then I will try to defeat you.

Hope that helps!

Ik ben dit nog niet tegengekomen in MP, Skullheadhq.
