RE: [HeroWars] Phalanxes

Again, Alexander had a mixed force army. The Sun Domers apparently do not, judging by the previous comment that "the clan needs vigilant guardians and individual heroes, not a bloody phalanx!" Which is why I raised the idea that _maybe_ temples outside of Prax had developed different traditions.

The question wasn't Aggar but Sun Dome Temples. The Macedonians had plenty of unit types. The impression I get from the list members is that Yelmalions can fight one way and only way. Thus my query.
