Good job. I used to use this on RTW, but since I got alex, I haven't been able to use it.

Yeah, that's why I like it, because it's for alex. I worded my post funny.
is it possible to get this just for RTW?
I think it is for both; the EB vanilla and Alex EDU are not changed at all.
I worded the phrase incorrectly, I meant that it was for Alex too (RTW and BI being compatible); if not, contact me when you try it and I'll do you an RTW version :)

EB on the Alex engine is simply that: The same EB you've been playing this whole time, simply on the Alex engine. The EDUs should be identical.
It should work for RTW. Anyone with problems should indicate so in this thread. I'm going to go ahead and integrate this with the Comp. Pack (I've talked with you on MSN).

Oddly enough, its harder to fight a classical phalanx with a macedonian phalanx formation in this. Also, levy hoplites are pretty much useless against any other phalanx formation, since they just get cut up quick as hell because of the constant pushing. Not that i'm complaining, this mod is awesome.

To clarify, i tested this as makedonia against the KH, and first battle was pretty even matchup between KH classical hoplites and levy phalanx. Even though the Levies tend to win over the classical, i find that after they close in my levies get cut up against the hoplites. Its no longer the "stand motionless while the phalanx pokes you to death hoplites" but now they actually push in to close and engage in melee combat. Obviously, this causes much more casualties.
This mod basically demotes levy hoplites from useful line infantry to "push to the death" infantry, i haven't tested it against the Romanoi or barbaroi factions yet, but i suspect it will fair the same.
Oh and one more thing, don't put guard mode on Makedonian phalanxes, it'll just ruin you in Phalanx vs Phalanx battles.
Flanking them is easier said than done, for some reason they refused to die/rout when i run my FM into a phalanx's butt, probably because of the opposing general still being alive.
