There's a 80 year old building in in the town closest to me it was the town hall but they built a new one 10 years ago and it started falling apart and is a safety hazard so they relocated to the old town hall after the new one cost the town 5 million Rand to build that's that's around 356 thousand US Dollars. The older buildings are much stronger than the newer ones.

See, I love seeing these and they’re awesome but what really annoys me about these phalanx troops is that, in real combat, their pikes would get bodies stuck on them, or snap, etc. If they were against determined barbarians, they might even throw themselves on to the spears to make them ineffective

Try using a shield wall on the bridge and see if they can hold them against Plebs. If that works then first let them fill up the bridge and then have the shield wall push them back. Once their off the bridge then launch a full attack against them.
