Sorry to tell you this, but historically phalanxes didn't fight on steep hills, only gentle slopes. Holding the long sarissa pike at the right angle was very difficult on steep slopes, even when facing downwards.
Your army should have been positioned a lot closer to the walls, where it's flat. You'll have more fun by giving the AI a fighting chance, instead of going for the maximum advantage possible against the computer which is too stupid to take advantage of terrain the way you can.
Unfortunately, despite being well written and beautifully illustrated with wonderful images, this AAR is becoming boring for me since you're winning the battles so easily. Sinope was the only one where you had any difficulty at all.
