    Cav or phalanx armies are not affected (well, this limits the benefits of this tweak to barbs only..), as they have their own formations, with 2.0 priority.
    /EDIT Or what Kraxis said..

    I guess the formation selection system first tests if the army can fill the requirements for highest-priority formation, if not it checks the next one etc.

    We could also write some better formations for AI to use.

    Indeed... And a lot of it could be copied from the present ones, such as distance to each other (lower it and I suspect our initial formations would be condensed too). I might get to it at some point.
    The formation missing is one where we have the heavy infantry in center, light in front and cavalry on the flanks (general behind as usual). I can't understand why it doesn't show up. That is the way I always deploys, and it is possibly the most historical formation.

    That shouldn't be too hard to make, I'll check it out tomorrow. Me might even get a formation pack together, it would add some more variation to campaign battles also.

    (lower it and I suspect our initial formations would be condensed too).
    No, that won't work, frontage per unit is set in descr_units. Though you can remove the gaps between units.

    That was what I meant... Decreasing the gaps between units. I hate that there is such a large gap between phalanx units.
