I just fought a battle where I had only 2 phalanxes (among many other units). One levy and one elite, both with one chevron, both recruited in Amaseia.
The levy phalanx faced a medium phalanx and the elite attacked an enemy general head on. The elite broke almost immediately and was massacred. The levy phalanx held for a long time until it was overwhelmed from all sides.
The text for Chalkaspidai says explicitly excellent morale, but my unit broke immediately. Why?
