Favorite tactics

[Omanes Alexandrapolites]

I always have an extra line of re-enforcements behind my units to charge in and change the tide of the battle if needed. As the Romans its usually another line of Principles or Hastatii, while as Carthage its typically a unit of Iberian Infantry. I generally try to go for something with a good charge bonus which will have serious impact upon enemy morale. Sadly few factions actually have a unit with these credentials, although as Germania, Night Raiders are perfect.

As said, The Greek Cities and the suchlike phalanx based factions have a disadvantage here - charging a unit through their ranks breaks them up, making them end up forced to switch to their secondary weapon - fairly useless quite honestly, especially when dealing with another phalanx. They aren't really helped by the fact that they have no infantry beyond phalanx units themselves, which, as said, are fairly useless if charging since they have to use their secondary weapon.
