I want to try and use my units historically, and I know most of the secrets lie on the article I referenced, but how to execute those tactics in-game is proving more than a little confusing, coumpounded by the fact the 'hold down the right mouse button and stretch to choose how long and deep your line is and the facing' doesn't seem to work very well in Rome (it just causes a series of single clicks in different locations, which can mean your whole army faces the wrong way or moves oddly. Also, in Medieval and MII, single right clicking makes troops walk, and double clicking makes them run, through whether they walk or run in Rome seems arbitrary, and it seems like they always walk when I need them to run and run when I'm fine with them walking...)
