I am now successfully playing EB 1.0 on BI without any problems whatsoever. However, I have a quation for the historians out there: What units should recieve the shield_wall and shieltrom formations? Any of the history buffs who contributed to EB?
Right now, here's the loose idea who should recieve this :
shield_wall:
Barbarians : professional warrior classes who were line infantry, rather than assault infantry
Greeks : Most of the Hoplites who'se responsibility was for holding a line, rather than breaking one. (Pretty much all hoplites)
Romans : Most of their infantry after Polybeain reforms.
Shieldtroms : Light Spearmen who tended to better a step up from the levy variety, with better training. Not generally heavy spearmen.
Any influence form the historical community would be VERY welcome!
