    I still remember being about 9 years old and reading up on what that hell a phalanx was in the Civ 1 civilopedia. I was slow rolling into the game and they’re great defensive units. Didn’t learn how to pronounce the word for quite a few more years.

      For god knows what reason, I pronounced it as ‘phanalix’ for the longest time.
