Music and german question

[orwell]

Why does the victory music play when, before you start the battle when you can check what the enemies forces are, it loops over and over. Is it just a placeholder for something else or is it supposed to happen.

Do the germans get a natural unit that can form a phalanx, and if so, why? I thought the galatians were the only ones who had serious interactions with nations who used such a formation.

If they do get a phalanx unit I didnt see it when I played them till the year 245bc.

As far as I know, EB didn't touch the music files. This sounds like a bug. Or are hearing the "confrontation" music that is played when two stacks join battle?

No, although they do in vanilla R:TW. Julius Ceasar apparently described them (or where it the Helvetians?) as using a phalanx, so CA fell licenced to add them. Or they could have thought it was the best way of representing the shield wall. EB has its own version of the shield wall and is using that for German units.

It may be the shield wall, but it doesn't look like anything I would expect. They have the 20 ft long spears/pikes that any successor state would fight with. As far as the music, I'm sure its the victory music and not the confrontation music, pretty sure.

Well, I really can't help you here, but I think it is a problem with the game and not the mod.

I agree. But then the entire Barbarian unit roster of vanilla R:TW is very much generalized and resembles reality only vaguely.
