Lay coins across our brows and sound the bells

And when our sons and mothers lay us upon the funeral pyre
Tell them we died Hellenic soldiers with our faces to the fire

Romans = draw phalanx onto broken terrain, pilli/pin, then roll up the flanks.

Re: DoGA FAQ
One could argue that the Macedonians were corrupted by the Greeks in that last battle. Instead of being a unified wall of spearpoints, the final Macedonian phalanx was a big square-shaped gaggle of guys running as fast as they could at the Romans, something picked up from the Greeks.

Re: DoGA FAQ
The last Macedonian phalanx happened to be a motley assembly of varying and random unit types put together mish-mash from what was left of the Peloponnese army, with some Macedonian conscripts thrown in for kicks. At least their cavalry was intact and formidable as ever. Routed and killed the Roman cavalry, but got out flanked when the infantry broke..

And in the same vein, Roman Legionaries were far, far more formidable during the late Republic and Imperial years.

Re: DoGA FAQ
Yet they still didn't conquer as much territory as Alexander and his phalangites.

Re: DoGA FAQ
Rome was only concerned with efficiency, after the early Roman Empire they decided they didn't need more land as it would stretch out the empire too far, which was completely correct. There is also the matter that the Roman Republic and Empire was more united than the Greeks after Alexander, and as such it was less in their interests to conquer huge amounts of land just because they could. It did, however, make them considerably more powerful than the Greeks.

Re: DoGA FAQ
Try telling that to a Traileric hoplite.
I'm a history major. I know that technically Rome was a better example of an empire, I just like the Hellenites more. If properly applied, the phalanx is just as deadly as the maniples.
