Formation mod

[The_Mark]

I thought that formation was called the triplex acies. I have never of a quincunx.

Yes, quincunx is the modern term, and I think triplex acies was the Roman name for it.

And here's another screen of cuincunx/triplex acies:


And two other formations, used by mixed heavy/light infantry, demonstrated by celts:



The Britons are deployed as: First a skirmish screen, followed by line of light infantry, backed up by the heavies. Cavalry on flanks, general behind.

The Gauls have also a skirmish screen, followed by a line of light infantry, but heavy infantry is split between the flanks and center. Cav is again on the flanks and general is behind center.

Some formations I'd love to see:

- single line with heaviest troops on flanks and lighter troops in the middle.

Almost forgot.. That formation is already in vanilla, but it doesn't work without disabling the standard formation. It is actually a pretty good formation, and it will be included in this pack, although it may be modified a bit.
