*filled with admiration* But, yes, I take issue with the spear vs long pike bug. I tried giving meagre eastern infantry spears, and put them up against standard phalanx pikemen and they beat the phalanx pikemen just by fighting on a gentle slope. How?!

Re: Very odd discovery
Good spot Oaty.
Can't say that I'm surprised as the units have always been rather deadly at the first contact of a charge even when it appeared they should be at a distance. What you have found confirms some of it.
Hope they have fixed a lot with BI.

wow - important find oaty - maybe this is part of the over-dominance of cavalry that mtw fans noticed early after rome came out....

Re: Very odd discovery
Hi there,
We have taken a closer look at this and it seems there were some issues with how frontal attacks interacted with the special case code relating to phalanxes.
We think we have got a nice fix for this.
You may find that attacks to the front facing of phalanx units may be a tad more painful to the attacking unit and that flanking or attacking from the rear will become more important.
Think this slipped under our radar as BI's focus isn't on Phalanx warfare.
Thanks to Oaty for spending his time looking at this issue and bringing it to our attention.

Will this be addressed for the RTW patch as well?
Thanks for the explanation.

Re: Very odd discovery
I guess at the time BI gets gold, they will either:
-work on next BI patch or
-work on patch for regular game
BUG-FIXER, an unofficial patch for both Rome: Total War and its expansion pack
