Gothic Knight said:How will the Greeks be more popular if the Carthaginians were aesthetically similar to them? The Carthaginians used Greecian style helms, and both the old and Macedonian phalanxes. Also, they used Iberian troops. They would be the most diverse faction out of either the Gauls or Greeks. Apostata, you seem to forget that the Macedonians the Romans faced had long been in decline. Their military was a load of crap compared to Philip' s army, which slaughtered the Greeks at Chaeronea. They were slammed, hard from a feint done by Philip' s right and an inside flank by Alexander on the Theban band. The Macedonians the Romans faced just can not compare to the ones led by Philip and Alexander.

Well, there are more evidences how phalanxes were unflexible against Romans and even Iberians, when Hasdrubal met them in Iberia, but thats no what I want to compare as army of Carthage, were made mostly of mercenaries, which quality was in decline together with decline of phalanx in East as many believe. Battle of Magnesia was lost for Antiochus only because his phalanxes were unable to relocate. And Pyrrhus campaign? Most of his soldiers in phalanxes were Italic ( From southern Italy, Magna Greacia) Using much shorter version of spear, unusable for the same effect as macedonian sarissa. That's what are Hellens facing the Rome for me.
The only reason of my posting was just to point out how formations in MnB are not enough rewarding to be actually created and used. Thats taking a lots of shiny and wonderfull things of Antique. I myself see like a very unpleseant, that mod is taking Rome as general theme ( so every kind of armor can be taken, I saw a lot of lads playing as praetorian centurions on the server.), and not going for just one accurate date.
