I am extremely sorry. I searched the in-game help and found out that the information you deleted was the correct one. The other links are the misleading ones. (These links with the misleading information are point at this wiki. They are part of http://ikariam.wikia.com)

If you want, I will edit the erraneous information of the misleading links with the correct one.

As regard of the Firing order on the Land Battle page, it is indeed correct. No doubt about that in the first place. But this is about the firing order amongst "formations". It doesn't demonstrates/explains the sequence of every formation's "victims" separately.

For example, Hoplites belong to the Front Line Formation and so, according to the above correct chart, they are programmed to fire 5th in order. When it is time for them to engage in battle, first they will attack enemy's Front Line. If this is depleted, then they will go for the Long Range Line. If this is depleted too, they will head for the Artillery. And if this also falls in battle, they will finally go for the flanks.

So the Attack Sequence of Front Battle Line Units, like Hoplites, is:

Front Battle Line → Long Range Battle Line → Artillery → Flanks

If you check the in-game help, you will better understand what I am trying to tell. I see I am not good to explain this well, probably because I didn't "get" it so far. Neither am I offensive player. To be honest I have never battled an opponent. :)

In any case, please accept my apologies for the unnecessary trouble that I caused.
