Is it really because of that?

Or is it because our fellow has got a mayority of heavy infantry (marian legionaires) in his army, so the AI provides a good heavy infantry based formation (the offensive wedge formation)?

Besides, its wasn`t an iron rule for legion commanders to use a manipular formation... the philosophy of the legions was to adapt to circumstances.

If they had a light infantry opponent, it`s not that ahistorical that the legatus chose a wedge formation in order to split the enemy`s line in half...

If the AI chooses that formation by default when fighting with romanii, then we have a problem...
