    The AI will just testudo in a giant ball randomly like it does with pikes.

    ?

    No, the enemy units will instead of forming a line, form a blob and randomly use their formations in said ball as it died horribly for being stupid. It would be a bad idea to have testudo since the AI would use it like it would use spearwall.
