Of course, we can't really plan around stuff like the traits of generals because not every army will have one.

There is a sense of damned if you do, but damned if you don't. We don't have a lot of room in morale stats for tinkering with numbers so we're stuck. I do agree with you for the most part, but if it comes down to being caught in a melee, running, and getting stabbed in the back or fighting for the chance to live... well, swarming doesn't sound like such a bad idea.

Well, this is just my opinon but think that the attack and defensive skill of all untis should be increased, elites obviously more than others, so you end up with a situation where leves will hold agianst elites for a while (without routing) they just won't kill anyone. I mean imagine akontistai with that little (probably poor quality knife) against hypaspistai, even if they stabed a hypaspiste, the knife would be more likely to break then penentrate, even assuming the hypaspiste made no effort to defend himself or couter attack.
