Phalanx is the basic Gaul unit (does not require research) which should be almost exclusively used for defense. Phalanx is the cheapest of all Gaul units and though it is not very strong or fast, it is considered by many to be the best defensive unit in the game per resource unit. Unlike all other defenders, phalanx is very balanced between infantry defense and cavalry defense.

The best use of the phalanx is as stationary defense and for anticipating future attacks well in advance. Because of its slow travel speed it should be complemented with Druidriders for quick reinforcements until the Phalanx has time to arrive. A phalanx should never be considered for the job of a hero because of its weak attributes and main role as defensive cannon fodder.

With the introduction of version 3.5, phalanx now has more capacity and therefore, can be used as an early infantry raider. Due to his low cost, phalanx is actually better as an infantry raider than the main attacker Swordsman. However, due to his low attack, the raiding force may suffer heavy loss if the farm has some defense. Hence, most Gaul players tend to quickly move to Theutates Thunder for raiding.
