    second and there is the real problem this Unit runs alway in phalanx mode...so the slow as hell, they cannot run with other Units if you have to advance or retreat, you cannot turn phalanx modus off since its the rally button in General Unit...they are now really useless except for static, defensive battles.....everytime if you have to move in the battle the Koinon General is useless and only ballast :P

    Please fix it as fast as possible, its stupid and even not realistic, everytime except defenses and even than a General hast try to be as mobile as possible even if he was the one man of 1000 that has had a Horse or chariot ^^ .....and now this
    Thanks for that thoughtful and coherent critique. The EB team really doesn't care if people want generals on horseback or rocket sleds, we'll follow history insofar as it's possible. So you might try consulting some books on Greek warfare. Anyway, a new KH general is part of the Hotfix. A phalanx-based general is one historical possibility for this time frame, but the problem is the hard-coded inability to switch them out of phalanx formation without using a non-intuitive technique. Hence you'll get a hoplite general soon.
