some possible formations

[Ghaseken]

Mmm, you have misunderstand me completely. We cannot "mess" with the code in any form. We can't change rotten cows into "cool new formation" nor anything similar. That is not data we have access to.

I NEVER said cool new formation. And what, you're not even gonna make a testudo? can't you, you know, change some sort of animation? And you wont keep the spear wall formation for the phalanx, will you? I mean, it wasn't even invented till the 13th century by william wallace.

The spear wall wasnt invented until the 13th century? By William Wallace? Really? How would you describe the Phalangitai formation except as a "wall of spears".

"well you dont REALLY need rotten cows, so you can probably mess with the code to make a formation."
As rotten cows isn't a formation turning it into a formation would be the creation of a "new" formation.

However, we can make the testudo as it still exists in the code (it was just disabled). Whether it will be used in the game is not yet sure. It was not a formation used in field battles, but rather a special formation used in particular situations during siege battles.

You're kidding, right?

Edit: Shameful. A foot is faster than both of my hands.

actually its the stiltrom formation, which was invented by william wallace, spear wall is

[Aemilius Paulus]

What are the in-game advantages of the wedge cavalry formation anyway?

[bovi]

The cavalry get slaughtered quicker. I'd say that is an advantage to the enemy, so there's your advantage right there.

phalanx is a storm of spears, but william wallace spear wall thing is like a trap or a wall. and he diddnt invert it just becouse he used it.
