However, I do think that this "tactic" verges on being an exploit, as it's neither realistic, and it exploits the AI's stupidity. E.g., were I the AI, I'd send some cavalry round your flanks to smack you in the bum, and then rush you with some infantry when you turn to face the cavalry. The Ai can't do that.
I remember playing EB Online back in summer with one of the guys, probably Mark (pardon me whoever it was, I forget ). My friend's little brother and I were besieging the opponent, who was playing as Makedonia, defending a small town or city, I forget again. His Argyraspides were able to hold all streets leading to the Plaza. This way, there was no chance for us attackers. Props to my opponent (Mark if it wasn't you, then consider this a shout-out to you where have you been my friend??). He did lose many men as my partner and I had hardy Hellene Hoplitai slowly wearing down those pikemen of Makedonia. But they are truly beasts, those Elite Phalanx of Hellenes.
