So whats wrong with phalanx?

[Armageddonn]

I played several games as Macedonia and Sparta and i don't know what seems to me the problem.So you use phalanx formation and they engage the enemy, now ofc you see some of the pike phalanx soldiers switching to swords engaging the enemy's but that is normal, i mean if it was just a wall of impenetrable spears where would be the balance of that? Some need to get in close in order for the enemy units to fight them, there is no other way, and most of the time they keep formation, ofc its not a perfect line, i mean you guys know that some fighting animation can push a unit back 2-3 meters wich means the attacking unit moves 2-3 meters forward and that is not a disruption of the formation its just the game mechanic and fighting animation, so what is the problem? (i am using hte radius battle mod btw)

Are there phalanxes in RTWII? Darn i must have missed them.

As previously stated you can simply walk through the wall of pikes and then engage the formation from the inside. Besides, it could look better, i mean, 3 rows vs something like this?
