Hellenioi

[Anastasios Helios]

Why are the regiments of the Koinion Hellenon so small compared to that of the Makedonioi, Ptolemaioi, or (sighs) the Romanioi? I have lost so many multiplayer battles because no matter how much I thin out my phalanx, I am still outflanked by my enemies, and therefore, the barbarians crush me. :(

[Megas Pyrrhos]

Then don't thin out your forces. Make them deeper, seems to work for me, and keep quality units to the flanks so that they can handle a flanking maneuver against them, and still having them like it, troops that don't care whether they get flanked or not.

The KH has access to some good troops, really. I agree with Megas Pyrrhos...place some light hoplites on your flanks. Their decent enough in defense to help stop a flanking maneuver, and they're fast enough to do a little flanking themselves.

Regular hoplites are very tough cookies too. I use some of them on the flanks to stop cavalry charges. Those hoplites don't fly like other units

One thing I will suggest:

As the KH don't expect to win a "pike vs short-pike" engagement. U are outnumbered and outreached. Focus on destroying the flanks of ur enemy quickly!

Use your iphikraptides (sp) to STOP the phezetaroi, thus "BUYING YOU TIME" to rout the flanks. Spartans and hoplites are EXTREMELY strong against cavarly since they don't suffer much when cavalry charges them. So have some in ur flanks.

It is "Hellenes" not Hellenioi
