Computer specs that can handle EB well. Its good to be back.

having a reasonably fast hard drive will reduce turn times quite a bit...

YD23 have you noticed the phalanxes not really engaging at all or closing in on each other in the mac version? :(

Phalanx on phalanx? I actually had a battle against some Carthage phalanxes yesterday. (played as Romani) My Hastati/Principes/Triari engaged them just fine. They had their pikes down and everything even after I encircled them.
Worked both fine on rtw/bi. But I noticed that the AI is MUCH better on BI, I get tons of naval invasions after I started playing campaign with BI.
If you're talking about a phalanx on phalanx I can't say that I've had one of those battles recently. : \

Try custom battle with 1 pike against another.

Swapped my files to be able to play custom battles and I think I saw what you meant. They sometimes tend to stand there awkwardly.. And keep switching from ready - fighting without really fighting. Only solution to this I found was to walk into the enemy unit which made them attack normally. Of course you'll probably take some losses though..

Mhm. I walk into enemy anyway online, or at least I used to when I played often. If a person knows what they're doing, anything is possible. With the poor engagement of pike vs pike in OS X, it's probably a problem that arose during the porting of the code.
