Their defense is 4 better, their morale 2 more, and the encumberance 2 less. Their good defense and ok protection against a hoplites spear makes me suspect they'd Last long enough to take advantage of hoplites quick fatigue.

Plus, having a strategic move of 2 is a big advantage.

their morale is the same. I suggest you compare uninstanciated troops, and not some which can be in home province and friendly dominion
The encumbrance is 1 less, right.
I forgot the strat move, I will have to get used with the stat, which is important.

as for the LI usage, perhaps you can restrict the attack rear order to units which cost 15 resources or less. That would be a quick and dirty trick for giving them a flanking role in battle.

That's a decent idea. My only fear is that a few heavy infantry all the way out on the flanks will simply destroy this tactic. [/QB]

thats why I said this was a quick trick, something which can be (normally) coded in one hour or so. Many time the better is the enemy of good, and I would prefer to have this implemented in the first patch, and not a perfect system 4 patches away.

You can refine the proposal by having the flank zones interdicted to heavier troops.
