As we all know, in M2TW the spear-wall formation sucks if you give them a secondary weapon, and still MUCH weaker than the RTW phalanx formation. While being weaker than the RTW phalanx isn't exactly a bad thing, in all the M2TW mods and games I've played the spear wall is sub par. I recently played the Hegemon mod of SS.. not to compare EB in ANY way to a game that has fantasy units in it, but this question came to mind while playing as Makedonia and ALWAYS having my phalanx crumble and switch to swords..
Does EB have a fix, for the spearwall formation? How much more powerful can we expect to see it, and will you equip them with swords as secondaries? If so, can we expect them to keep their spears out longer, much longer? keeping the enemy at a safe distance?
