As I've started a new campaign as Greece, I've discovered the amazing ability of Phalanxes.

Simple tactic I know, but just march phalanxes towards them, It helps when playing as the Greek Cities. Defending a settlement, I'd just shove a Phalanx infront of the entrance and watch them come in. I've got Sardis being besieged by the Egyptians. The last time my phalanxes went against chariots I was laughing as their chariots rode through my phalanxes, in the course losing both their horse and rider. I really cant wait for this defence. So I've decided to let them keep sieging it as I know they will try and attack. My plan is slightly full proof.
