    Default Disfunctional Phalanxes?

    I have RTR Platinum (can't remember the version, it's been a while since I last played), for Barbarian Invasion, and for some reason I can only do phalanx formation with pike units. Spear armed units who should have the phalanx ability will stick their spears forward in a phalanx-like formation, but it doesn't have any of the effects of a normal phalanx. Is this just a problem with Barbarian Invasion?

    There are some discrepancies with the unit information of some units. It needs to say "can form phalanx" in the top section of the text for a unit to be able to form phalanx. Hoplites and other spear armed units cannot form phalanx like Macedonian/Seleucid/Ptolemy pikemen. Sure someone else who is more knowledgeable on the game/mod can fill you in more.

    I believe you're referring to the "short_pike" units, eg: hoplites, that have a pseudo-phalanx.

    While they can use the "Phalanx" special formation (and it helps) it's not enabled via the EDU.

    Okay, thanks, but are you absolutely sure? My friend also has RTR, but not for Barbarian Invasion, and hoplite units can still do phalanx formation in his game. Is this just for the Barbarian Invasion version?

    There`s no barbarian invasion version. You can play rtrpe with BI, but it`s still the same game and has the same unit attributes. Maybe he has rtr 6 gold. The changes posted, including those to hoplites, are the ones between rtr 6 gold and rtrpe.
