Tell ya `bout Peltasts.....made the mistake of taking all hoplite army onto the filed vs a mixed army. Peltasts evaded my foot and peppered them with stones. My foot chased but couldnt close. They clashed with their Hoplites and the enemy peltasts hit my flank and I routed. Spartans learned this lesson the hard way too. My early builds will include missile troops from now on.
Phalanx is a site to see, the bristling long sarissas....they are slower and when they change direction raise the sarissas and turn and then lower weapons. If you hit them front and flank they are in trouble. Cavalry is very fluid....when they crash into foot you see them riding a sea of troops. They seem to either crack the formation or crack themselves. better used to hit and withdraw if they dont break the enemy. Hit and withdraw and charge again. So far i`m really liking RTW.
