increase the chevrons on the romans, train them up!!

Attack them with peltasts and javelin from the rear and also cavalry from the rear

Pikes work and it is now a problem? So pikes should be weak so you can win is that it? Who attacks pikes from the front?

I'd add to this, while on a set piece battle pikes are very OP, but rightly so. Both Hoplites and Pikes in seiges, while manning the walls no less, retain all of the OP states, so even if you use very heavy infantry you still end up getting destroyed like it was a set piece battle.

Basically, I think in seiges they should not be so OP, but in set piece battles they are fine :)

the problem is they have such broken stats compared to other infantry that when playing other factions even if you entirely surround a phalanx they will still wipe out all your cavalry and infantry and any city or town battle is a lost cause because of this
