    Default Re: non-Macedonian style Phalanx - broken?

    I think EB team did a mistake removing "phalanx" formation from Iphikratous Hoplitai and their kin: AFAIK they weren't supposed to be fast or agile, but to be effective and relatively cheap line-holders, thanks to their unusually long spears (still shorter than sarissa, though).

    So, being the "phalanx" formation (WITHOUT "long_pike" attribute, or they'll get sarissa) the only way to have a solid wall of spears engaging more than one row at time, and nimbleness not being required for their tactical role, I think they should get back their old formation; this would provide a use for their pathetic shortswords, too.

    EDIT: or we can try "short_pike" attribute without "phalanx" formation maybe.
