Hoplites should be thrusting with spears overhead while pushing with shield. Not thrusting low like regular spearmen. The Chigi vase (via wikipedia) shows both spear positions and overhand thrusts do happen in the game:

The Chigi vase (via wikipedia) shows both spear positions and overhand thrusts do happen in the game:What I see when I look at that vase is two different overhand positions: one when you're actually trying to stick someone, and one when you're in overhand position but resting. The difference has to do with whether you raise your arm or not.
Dammit Meng, you and your screenshots have made me so hot for some hoplite action that I broke down and reinstalled Rome 2. Maybe I'll spring for the DLC too. Oh well, time to make Rome great again( not a political statement).
Only thing I'm not sure about is whether it's worth the bother to reinstall the Radious mod or not. Anybody know how vanilla is now with all the updates?
It’s an overhaul mod so it changes almost every aspect of the game and adds a lot of new units.
Possibly but relevant to my re-load of Rome 2. The Radious and DEI mods are both adjusting their mods to be available for Rise of the Republic. I went with the DEI mod for Rome 2. Return to topic.
