    well, to say the truth, im not very entusiast to add it to all romans, cause i think that the old-style Wall vs Wall tactics, or Masses vs Masses, is ok for the early repubblican army (camillian, but i gave it just to the triari) but it's not ok for the Polibian incarnation,who is intended to be more mobile and to flank and sourround the enemy. This is cause i like to intend the Shield Wall in EB just as an Oplite attribute, in the old mass vs mass battle style.

    I suppose that if i have to add it even to swords unit and other roman units or other spearmen units, i have not to intend it like an oplite attribute anymore... well, it's a good problem.

    PS according to the "Oplite attribute" matter, now that i think on, it's ok to not give it to the Thureophoroi-like units (Libian Spearmen, Torakitai etc.) who are supposed to be a mobile infantry not given to the wall vs wall tactic...

    PPS what about the Icons? is some one capable of doing some nice SW icons for every faction group to add in the interface?
