Actually, I have seen something similar.
While the campaign map AI can easily be compared to a retarded crack baby with a big club in a china shop, the tactical map AI has improved.

I once tried to surround a troop of Hoplitai and the formed a similar schiltrom formation of their own.
It doesn't happen with units in phalanx formation but on occasion you will see the Phalangitai at the back of the unit drawing their swords to meet a charge

Great screenshot, by the way. If you had submitted it to the competition I would have voted for it!

Well, as it turns out, the general was the next to die, and everyone just sort of...routed. Thankfully, the slingers had the presence of mind to flee from the scene just before it happened and were able to get back into the settlement and end the sally.

He did pretty well, though:

And you would have voted for it, Burebista? Too bad that competition is over. :(

I already have a screenshot for the February competition, though.

If you crop out the HUD and the "Pause", sure I would have.

I'm collecting screens for February too. See you there, eh?

Its probably caused by guard mode having them hold formation and they turning to face the enemy.

He wasn't in Guard Mode though.
