Phalanx Formations and Phalanx fighting

[Megalos]

Another good tactic to use if you are limited with very few troop types, is to move your grouped phalanx into the enemy line (as described above) and hit the delete key when engaged.(this will stop the whole group)

This will put the phalanx back into guard mode, so your phalanxes will wait in that formation unitil ordered otherwise. Your phalanxes won't be killing enemies all that quickly, but they will certainly be sapping their strength, and once you notice the enemy flagging you can open up your phalanxes (by turning off both guard mode and phalanx mode) and have them take on a now tired enemy with their swords.

Obviously this won't work if you are fighting other enemy phalanxes.


As a side note, if you are getting annoyed with your phalanx "popping" up and down after they have moved position, just hit the delete key to stop it.
