New Unit Greek Phalanx (Original AoE inspired)

Description
Injects one unit into the game, based on the Phalanx unit from Age of Empires, the Phalanx' name shows up as blank, but before the Starting Ulfsark. It is a powerful but slow greek unit.
It is untrainable too, so it's scenario only for now.

The Phalanx is directly taken and converted from Expanded Mod (version v1.3 to be exact) a mod I was working on for The Titans, it's future update (v1.4) will however, be a Tale of the Dragon exclusive expansion.

The Phalanx is intended to be a defensive unit that is part of a "Elite Military" sub-class of Infantry, essentially they are slow, but extremely powerful, a small group of 4 could easily wipe out a 10 unit Hypaspist force, or the infamed Chinese Cataphracts. However this is offset by an extremely costly 150f, 120g (IIRC) Balance isn't supposed to be a major focus, it's only for fun, and to rek Chinese units for fun in the scenario editor.

This isn't intended to be a one off unit expansion, eventually I will work on porting more units, including the Norse Varangian Guard, Egyptian Baskilion Guard, and the Atlantean Centurion, along with a new (in working title) Chinese Imperial Vanguard, for a "Elite Infantry pack" expansion, including the above, and shiny new screens.

Credits:
-Therog which this is based on and uses the shield and cape textures from
-ES for creating the unit
-Master Foozle for the head model and texture.

Good stuff. You should throw up a preview icon so people can see it on the workshop.

DLC and none-DLC owners use the same protox file, it's not piracy since it's not a Chinese unit.

So I see no reason for the DLC requirement but alright.

It uses the totd protox file, if I didn't require dlc and was using the totd protox this would be taken down due to it technically being piracy

why this mod needs the dlc if its a Greek Unit?
