[A Terribly Harmful Name]

Just my comments on this particular battle: first, I agree wholeheartedly, to whoever mentioned it first, that the troop compositions in this battle seem to be beyond reality. I mean, WTH? There were too many Hetairoi and Extraordinarii for any historically or logically plausible situation. Ergo, it might be possible according to the financial strains of the game, but in my view it seems too illogical and as an EB'er I don't like situations that stray away from history too much.

Next time you might experiment with more historically accurate situations: tweak down elites by rule, put up levies and line troops in the troop composition as a matter of principle. Then slug it each other in more demanding situations.

EDIT - As for the battle itself. I don't know if this is some kind of MP situation, since I'm unexperienced with MP, but there were many situations were troops that could be moving were instead astray or being mowed down in humiliating situations. I mean, what were these Hetairoi doing idle when the Phalanxes were being surrounded by munky's infantry?
