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

Re: Phalanx
I think they are alittle too weak in mtw2... we need something in between the impenatrable wall of RTW and the pussy phalanx of mtw2... Atleast in RTW it made you apply tactics for flanking and such but in mtw2 you can smash right through the formation with almost any unit..
Re: Phalanx
Even the RTW phalanx can be beaten frontally if the attacking unit has crazy stats. I have experienced this in EB, where a rebelling city generated units of Thraikioi Peltastai with full experience (3 golden chevrons). Those were absolute monsters; they would force their way through the pikes of pezhetairoi, from the front, get to the middle of the formation and proceed to butcher the phalangites
RTW, 167 BC: Rome expels Greek philosophers after the Lex Fannia law is passed. This bans the effete and nasty Greek practice of 'philosophy' in favour of more manly, properly Roman pursuits that don't involve quite so much thinking.
