A study on the effectiveness of Argyraspids against Pezhetairoi

Hey GG, why don't you do the exact same study but with the Phalanx mod from TWFanatic... you can find the link in Intranetusa's OP regarding state tweaks in the EB submod directory... the mod changes the phalanx spear from "light spear" to "heavy spear" so that should have some effect on the "pushing" of the phalanx...

[gamegeek2]

Pushing is based on mass, mainly. IIRC there is no "heavy spear" attribute. THere is "spear" which is known to cause formation problems.

There is also the importance of standing density vs attacking density. The best pushers are units like hoplites that have ridiculous mass but also have a ridiculous different between densities when sitting and attacking.

Don't you find it ironic that hoplites push better when attacking with guard off and with some of the lowest densities in the game?

[antisocialmunky]

Why would that be ironic?

They would have to push in formation. Silly engine. Low density is for noob-engines!
