Total War Rome 2 Mechanics - Expert Charge Defense I

Expert Charge Defense reflects damage back to the attacker, and is devastating against high charge/low armour-units. Against units with low charge/high armour it doesn't work as well, and might be better to charge+ Phalanx.

Nice RTW music

The unusually high quality, and low cost spear units defense on Ardeiai's roster is insane, the fact that they all tend to have an extra perk over other units of their quality only reinforces this (If you are not those spearmen that are worse then celtic tribesmen.)
Of course, the downside to being the best spear rush faction in the game is that they also lack variety in all other areas.
Hoplites: Always has expert charge defense.
Marines: Bonus accuracy to thrown missiles: Their marksman score is triple that of any other units.

Im playing as dalmati now and best logic to use this:
if enemy have higher charge bonus than yours then you hold your ground

But u didn't show hopiltes in phalanx taking the charge

[@maximusnorvegicus]

jame9169 Indeed. For the sake of brevity I don't test all the different possible scenarios, and sometimes I split them up.

Lose the music, nobody is here for that. Apart from it, kudos!
