Let me know if you have any problems.

cool!....but i think those hunnic steppe spearmen are a little unrealistic

That Schiltron formation looks very promising; the Lordz might be able to get a square formation out of that. Can't wait till I can't my hands on the code!

Too bad theres no statement on how the mechanics work. If I get ahold of the demo I'm going to do a suicidal charge head on into some spearmen. It also dawned on me why they only gave hannibal 3 or 4 bodyguards. Imagine 40 bodyguards rolling up on the Roman army, with the rest of your army behind you

It looks good, the night battles look very good, the shield wall looks like a circle type Phalanx which looks good as well. Theres a Celtic unit with a war hammer that look promising. Overall not bad at all. I'm going to go and pick one up i think

[Duke John]

I thought the Schiltron formation was a round formation used by Scottisch pikemen. Now reading through the poster's review I read that the Schiltron is a running phalanx formation. Shieldwall is according to BKB the round formation which should have been a long straight formation. Am I messing it up or is the poster switching names?

Yup, as an immobile formation with no flanks, it sounds perfect. All you've got to do is square the circle.

and pray it works with missile weapons. That didn't work with phalanx formation IIRC.
