I left the Germans at default 1.2 mass. The reason is that they are such a basic unit and probably were not a true phalanx, plus they have pretty good stats and a large unit size. Historically, the Roman infantry seem to have been able to wade into them a bit better frontally, so I didn't give them "the juice." I took some pity on Egypt's weak phalanx units (but not too much...) and gave them the same mass increments as others. Here I considered that they really represent a ptolemaic hybrid and they don't have much armour. They are still going to get carved up against any decent infantry, so at least they should have the opportunity to push a little. (The Pharoah's Guards got the 1.8 treatment of course, Nile = 1.6, Nubian 1.3.)
