    Default Iphikratides/Misthophoroi

    Not sure if this is a bug or not so I'll post here. The Iphikratides Hoplites have a charge value of 1 while the Misthophoroi Hoplites have a charge value of 15. Hire cost aside, in other respects they are identical. Intentional? I wanna know cos I'm hiring Misthos like crazy so I hope it's not an exploit.

    I think this isn't intentional. In EB usually troops that throw a javelin have charge bonus of 1. IIRC both Misthophoroi Hoplitai and Hoplitai Iphikratides are phalanx units that don't throw javelins, so their charge bonus should be other than 1. In this case I think the Misthophoroi's charge of 15 is actually the correct number. In other case, both usually fight in phalanx formation, where the charge bonus doesn't apply (IMO).

    Or the team decided let's remove the carge bonuses of the 'phalanx' units, seeing that the '1 charge bonus' also applies to Pezhetairoi...
