DeI - Alternative Pike Phalanx

Hi All,

Mod updated for DeI 1.3.

Pike phalanx implementation on TW engine has it pros and cons.

For people who are more into cons side, we have prepared this offical submod.

It removes pike phalanx based behaviour for these formations, fixing issues like AI units positioning sideways/walking through player formation or spinning awkwardly.

Instead pike phalanx using units now have passive formation and old Formed Attack added, which forces them to stay in formation, without above bugs (although sometimes it makes AI deploy own units in thin column).

All animations were swapped as pike animations would not trigger and soldiers were using only swords.

To combat it, I have added new animations for them, which mixes spear & shield animations with two handed kill animations. Pike units will have 3 new kill animations that use different two handed thrusts like imapling enemy to the ground. Additionally there are new animations for phalanx vs phalanx combat where pikemen will parry pike thrusts with their own pikes.


Stat values of pike phalanx formations:

a) Long Pike Phalanx
+10% to missile block chance
Frontal armour armour increased, back and rear armour decreased = this means that frontally they are tougher but recieve higher damage when attacked from the rear
They are frontally harder to hit but recieve more strikes when attacked from the rear
+20% to AP Weapon damage
+2 melee attack
+3 bonus vs cavalry
+3 bonus vs elephants

b) Short pike phalanx:
+5% to missile block chance
Frontal armour armour increased, back and rear armour decreased = this means that frontally they are tougher but recieve higher damage when attacked from the rear
They are frontally harder to hit but recieve more strikes when attacked from the rear
+20% charge bonus
+10% to base Weapon damage
+15% to Armour Piercing damage
+1 Melee Attack
+3 bonus vs cavalry
+3 bonus vs elephants


Main differences are that Long Pike Phalanx is more defense oriented while Short Pike Phalanxis a more offensive. Long Pike Phalanx also is tougher frontally but suffers more from flanking while Short Pike Phalanx is not as tough frontally but does not suffer as much when flanked.
