    I rarely say something like that, when i don't know from experience. I train medieval fencing a lot, and we have tried that way of fighting. It does not work. The shield has to be on your shoulder, so that you can be bashed with another shield and still keep the formation. And it is hard to do this and keep the spear overhead. Probably they used both ways as Asgaroth said, but we can not use it in rtw. (or maybe we can... i have to see something ).

    Whatever - basically we keep it vanilla, and i'm working like that.

    But the vanilla one makes the spears too long, and I think they did fight like tht, EB's historical integrity is not to be questioned

    Define too long?
    And yeah, EB is a good historical source, although it has its flaws
    But the point is, that hoplite warfare is impossible to represent in RTW as it (probably) was. So we can just choose the best game-play way.
    I actually don't know if the hoplites in HRTW will have the "phalanx" ability - thay may just be normal spearmen (maybe in a shield wall?).

    They act more like pikemen

    Could the local moderator please close this thread? I have discussed with the current mod leader Asgaroth and him and I agreed that it would be best if this thread (along with the other HRTW thread) should be closed since I have left the mod. They will begin there own thread when they are ready. Thank you
