No Sarissas For Hoplites

You can also add spear in stat_pri_attr

For anyone still interested in this, you can do this change yourselves

In export_descr_unit find the hoplite unit you want and change the below if you want spears and no phalanx (ignore stats its from different units)

formation 1, 1, 2, 2, 5, square
stat_health 2, 0
stat_pri 16, 4, no, 0, 0, melee, simple, piercing, spear, 25 ,8
stat_pri_attr spear, spear_bonus_8
stat_sec 0, 0, no, 0, 0, no, no, no, none, 25 ,1
stat_sec_attr no

change the below if you want short pike / spears and phalanx as well. I think its better as you have option for phalanx as well.

formation 1, 1, 2, 2, 5, square, phalanx
stat_health 1, 0
stat_pri 9, 4, no, 0, 0, melee, simple, piercing, spear, 25 ,1
stat_pri_attr short_pike, spear_bonus_8
stat_sec 0, 0, no, 0, 0, no, no, no, none, 25 ,1
stat_sec_attr no

It works perfect for me.

@Sumarlithi
could you describe how you made this mod? models-wise

Does your other mod actually work? According to the one guy in the comments it doesn't.

@Riekopo done.

Can you make version that keeps Phalanx but makes spears much shorter. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dory_(spear) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoplite#Spear

@Evocatus_Dei I'll try it out, thanks for the info

Shieldwall is broken so the units walk alone into the enemy formation and get killed one by one. It was so in old RTW and MTW2 as well. Far more usefull ist to make unit fromation much densier. For Example in my Mod I made natural shieldwall like standard formation for Hoplites: 0.65, 1, 1, 1.5, 6 square and behind above where the nummber of soldiers ist 60, 0, 1.6, 0.26. when on guard mode it works like charm. Uploaded my mod here as well but I dont know if ti works for others :D I newer uploaded anything. Always moded game just for myself. Try my configuration for units. You can simulate natural shieldwall, phalanx anything you liek with those density numbers.

This is honestly the first mod I'd hoped someone would make, thank you

Feral might have made some modifications but there are some differences between the engines.
