Forming square formations

[Kekvit Irae]

Do you have ring/socket bayonets? I'm guessing you need them (or at least affix plug bayonets) before going into a square formation. I honestly don't know. I've had the same problem early in my Prussia game, but never later on in the campaign.

That's not the case at least with Russian cossack infantry. The do not have(need) bayonets but they are able to form squares. Same with Ottoman janissary musketeers: they can form squares, but do not have bayonets.

Maybe bayonets is a requirement for the Prussian line.

I'm pretty sure you can form square without bayonet tech as Prussia. Its been awhile since I played early Prussia though.

Only problem is Prussia starts with plug bayonets or at least they did prior to the patch.

Oh yea, forgot about that lol.

I guess check the tech tree again, see if you really researched square formation Phill? If you did and reloading the game doesn't work you might want to start a new game.

Just trying to help out:)

You also have to have at least 45 men in the unit to form a square any less and the game won't let you
