Is this intentional or a bug? Please respond. Thanks.
The Shield Wall only works in BI, and this is an RTW mod. We don't have the shield wall ability for any of our troops.

Re: Shield Wall not working
Don't these units adopt a very thight formation when you press the loose/close button? Or was that in a previous build?

Some do, I don't know if it is those ones in particular though.

Re: Shield Wall not working
Why does the troop info for some units say that they can perform the shield wall then?
And as far as I remember, regular RTW units could do the shield wall (some of course, not all).

Nope, standard R:TW did not include a shieldwall. The description refers to an extra tight formation they adopt when you press the close/loose formation button (C).

Ah, so that's how it worked. Now I get it. Pretty darn clever actually. There should be an explanation somewhere, though, IMO. Maybe a small footnote at the end of the unit info text or something similar.
...now I'm seriously wondering if I should do my minimod all over again... darn... :sweatdrop:
Re: Shield Wall not working
Hmm, I could swear I used the shield wall in regular RTW but I'm sure you know better.
Perhaps it was in Rome Total Realism. Did they have it?
