Been reading some stuff about the Greco-Persian wars (Tom Holland's Persian Fire is particularly recommended), and with that and 300 in mind I've started a Greek campaign, H/H, latest patch.
I'm pleased that the Greeks actually seem to get their cool units fairly quickly; Hoplites and Armored Hoplites are the backbone of my armies, and I'm getting very close to making Spartans already (257).
It's been a long time since I've played the Greeks and I was curious about everyone's tactics with the Hoplite units. "Make a big line and march forward in phalanx formation" is pretty obvious, as is the corrollary "flank with whatever you can find for cav", so I'm looking for things a bit more dynamic than that, something that maybe plays to the great stamina of the Armoreds and Spartans. Or anything really -- any hoplite tactics that have worked well for you, or even those that have failed utterly. Looking forward to input and suggestions,
