Phalanx

[EdwardL]

Have yall figured out a working phalanx model for EB2?

Nope, we are still working diligently on EB1. Our work on EB2 is minimal and we haven't looked at such issues as this yet.

Hi EdwardL,
Fortunately, the useful R:TW phalanx feature remains, yet is not used, in M2:TW. Luckily, the same also applies to the Testudo, the Shield Wall and the Schiltron - somehow the CA either forgot to or did not want to remove them in their move upwards. Hope this helps, cheers!

Think you need to add animations though for them.

And the Shieldwall has animation in M2TW which we can use. (Swiss Pikemen, Obudshaer units use it)

I think the weakness of the pike units is much better than RTW, in MTW2 theres a way to break through to them (a little from the front I mean).

in RTW they're too powerful from the front.

IMO they're not. You've got to apply tactics or be an Elite Cataphract (semi-nomad, not hellenistic one that is).

I think they're just right in R:TW. They should be damn near impenetrable from the front....that's what flanking is all about. I don't have M2:TW, but if they're as weak as people say, I hope that can be fixed for EB2.
