Re: some possible formations
Can´t see any of your pics.
IIRC, you can´t make up new special abilities.

I don't come here a lot any more. You know why? Because you suck. That's right, I'm talking to you. Your annoying attitude, bad grammar, illogical arguments, false beliefs and pathetic attempts at humour have driven me and many other nice people from this forum. You should feel ashamed. Report here at once to recieve your punishment. Scumbag.
Re: some possible formations
goddamn it i thought that safari cant detect it but :( wrong. oh well
Re: some possible formations
Only one special attribute per unit is possible. Take a look at cavalry: either wedge or Cantabrian circle.
Furthermore, implementing those formations would involve probably replacing the animations of one formation for another. An infantry wedge is possible, but considering how well it doesn't work in RTW, don't expect it in EB2.
Re: some possible formations
Yeah but trebuchets have 2 special abilities in M2TW, fire ammo and dead cows, how is that so ?
Proving the others wrong does not prove you right.
Being against war is an evidence in itself but peace is nothing but an absence of wars.
If capitalism, and all its vices, is the best humanity can do with its energies when at peace, it might as well start fighting again...
It is said that the people during the Middle Ages when uneducated, gross, naive, fearful of the unknow and uncaring for all but their little pleasures, with the exception of some elites. I can assure you it haven't change to this day.

Re: some possible formations
Spear Wall and William of Wallace...
Bravehearth is a good film.... I like it...And among many films -especialy Hollywood ones!-based on history Bravehearth probably will stand on top...
But William Wallace did not invent anything!!! Well he is a good general! Spirited person!...Brave...But it is not like something they mentioned in the film that suddenly a bell rings in the William Wallace's head and "we will use spears!... Very long spears!..."
and....
TADA!!!
He invented spear wall!
:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
Well it is known among Europe -i will also not mention about phalanx!-
William Wallace was a veteran soldier. So he probably know 'spear wall' from his experiences or 'veteran common knowledge'

Re: some possible formations
spear wall and phalanx is very very different. spear wall and shield wall are for defending and stuff. But phalanx is for making chaos in the enemy ranks and making them unable to attack back. Phalanx are not for defending, it is for attacking and pushing. thats why it is so deep, so that they could push eachother in the back and make an overwhelming power to squeeze the enemy.
Re: some possible formations
I was led to believe the phalanx was an anchor which was used to hold the enemy in place until the hammer could strike the real blow. And who said the shield wall was solely used in defence, ludwag? You? Who else? I'm getting so sick of your ignorance being stated as fact, dude. I hate you. Very much.
Re: some possible formations
I do have to agree. Your statement that the Phalangitai were not a defensive formation is at odds with the facts. It was a formation that was heavily used with a cavalry wing, it was not a formation that could win a battle on its own. It was weak at the rear and sides, and would have lost easily if enveloped. Yes it was a pushing match, but so are all other static formations. You say the shieldwall was purely defensive. If so that would have made the wars of the saxons relatively bloodless as they were all using it. Furthermore, I've actually stood in a shieldwall, been trained in it as part of reenactment society. It was aggressive and it was used to push.
If you have a different view of things then you need to know that you need to bring evidence to the forum beyond what you have so far been doing. We cannot deal with your input if you do not.

(This was from the Tavern by the way.)
You are right Meth, that was a good double team right there.
Re: some possible formations
I'm not at home to insulting fellow forum members. I'm especially not at home with quoting from the Tavern. Such a den of inquity and spam is not welcome, though I'm glad you've all found a new home. I'm not working with Meth in trying to attack Ludwag, I'm just agreeing that Ludwag's points do not hold up to scrutiny. Making someone not feel at home on these forums is what EB Team Members are for, not fans. Don't do it.
