Re: Arcoscophile
I had a few more tips for the newer arcoscophile players out there. Point form today, kinda short on time.
1) Don't forget to use independants. Indy knights are some of the best platoon units to use with elephants. Their 16 morale is the same as hypaspists, and at 20 movement, they are even faster than the elephants. Later in the game try a 2-1 ratio squad of knight to elephant. The lance charge followed by the trample effect is devastating to enemy morale. Additionally, the knights will absorb any opposing cavalry charge.
2) Massed hoplites are usually better as a front wall than an elephant brigade against opposing pretenders. A group of 40 or more hoplites, broken into Groups of 20 will usually hold the front lines against national troops. Remember to cover your flanks, either with elephant/knight brigades or more hoplites. If you have a decent blessing (such as W4 E4 or F4 W4), heart companions are even better.
