R'as, did you mean shield_wall, or spear wall i.e. phalanx? I would love to be able to use shield_wall formation in game, but I think that the AI will not use it with his spearmen, which then imbalances things for the player. Have you tested it with the AI controlling the spearmen, is it able to employ shield_wall properly (or at all)? If not, do you, or anybody else for that matter, know how to get the AI to use a new formation?

Rest assured that we do read these forums, both here in the UK and in Australia, and that these things do get discussed internally and passed on for investigation to the folks in Oz who are dealing with the patches.
Many thanks for posting this!
