Oh yes, froggy, you are right...

I was thinking of units able to form Phalanx... Some spears, like Triarii can't form Phalanx.

I was thinking a long the line of spears with phalanx ability and Hoplites (ie the name of the unit) are to be considered the same.

Spears without the phalanx ability are of course of different; in the context of a discussion about phalanx, I forgot those
