Welll, the thing is, phalnax formation does just that in the RTW engine. Also, the Polibyan triarii loose 3 attack and gain a larger bonus versus cavalry and camels, and loose a penalty against elephants.

I edited their stats (export_descr_units.txt) to give them higher attack and defense values (+1 to each vs Camillian) on my comp, so that they don't recieve a downgrade
