RTW Formations

[Stormer]

what kinda formations do you expect in RTW and would like to see im hopeing they are goin gto do tactics like the roman turtle man id love too see that when attacking a castle and boiling water comeing down would break it up hehehe can imagine it now http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

I would expect line, column and turtle, but there is more to the roman army than legionairs.
Then there is the time aspect of the game. 200BC to 400AD, not to mention if they include the Campaign of Justinian in 500AD and the Bysantines (lots more units).

I will tell you what would be fun, and that is if the siege/castle assult part got slightly more interesting. I will admitt that the MTW siege/assult part is far superior to STW, but where are the moats, the breeches with fighting on the ramparts, the ability to ascend castle walls with ladders, and the boiling oil http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smokin.gif . Now that would be fun, or what?

interesting subject but I'm sure this can be added to some of the existing "What if..." threads about RTW.
