It may just be me, but why does everyone hate macedon??

Not reffering to the fans of course, but the other AI factions. about 15 turns into the game as poor old macedon, and I've fought off two Ionian naval invasions plus one spartan naval invasion led by Leonidas himself!

What boggles my seemingly inferior mind in this matter is the fact that Sparta had to around Athens to get to some backwater town of mine that just about every faction other than my own is desperate to get their hands on!?!

Hehe the same thing happened to me, poor old Maks can't catch a break.

The Spartans always seem to love to launch wildly unsuccessful naval invasions in my campaign. Bear in mind that I'm early on with Persia. The Maks seem to get away quietly in mine.

I have been modding the campaign alot recently and in the new version (details and preview to be shown later) at least Makedon performs much better

Far from ready though, I have many plans.

I was referring to animation, not formation. I've used this solution since forever (long before Mr. Dudar (was carried out in April and june), coincidentally in the same mod). and it does work well!

anyways, the reason why a new animation/ model is in order? look at those EB hoplites. see how they hold the spear? with the grip to the rear? that's what I'm referring to. the short_pike is an eyesore (as mentioned), and removing it is a pain (because now you have a guy holding an 8ft spear, as if it were 4ft-wierd). call me picky, but its hereditary unfortunately.

In fact, i will make a mini mod, to lighten the burden on Nero 666, with Nero's permission.

( i finally got the needed stuff, so I can get cracking soon.)
