The Germans do have a much harder time without a phalanx unit. On the other hand the new higher level units make it much easier to keep up with other factions in the later stages of the game.
One of the notable differences in XGM is that the game's version of the phalanx is only used for Macedonian style pike units - i.e. very long spears, held under arm, with small shields. Even Hoplite...
I don't remember. I think they get shieldwall if you play with the BI exe, but otherwise no phalanx.
Its been a while since I played Germany, but IIRC it is a difficult campaign in the early game. Military upkeep is quite expensive in XGM so it's hard to keep enough stacks to defend your borders...
