    Yes, shieldwall gives a huge defence bonus & totally destroys the intended balance unless you drop off the other stats in compensation & that requires a seperate EDU.
    Also, EB have already set the formation spacing as they intend it to be, shieldwall puts the units even closer together (to the point the RTRPE hoplites are constantly 'treading water' to keep in position against the game engine algorythm to force too close units to spread out.

    I'm happy with hoplites as they are in EB without shieldwall.
    maybe those guys should be doing something more useful...

    So don't use it.
    "Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

    Damn am I glad to hear EB isn't moving to BI. Not that I wouldn't appreciate it, but IMHO every minute diverted from EB2 is a cursed, evil minute.

    Who wouldn't want EB2? Now the day that comes out, will be the day fireworks will consume my neighborhood from the celebrations I shall host. The advantages are overwhelming in my opinion. So much more moddable, in terms of AI, diplomacy, units, graphics, everything. It will truly be something to behold.

    I'd like to mention that in fact RomeTW-BI.exe adds nothing to AI strategic behavior.
    The common rumour that RomeTW-BI.exe-AI is more likely to capture islands than RomeTW.exe-AI is a myth.
    I've finished 3 campaigns with RomeTW.exe-AI and I can say that RomeTW.exe-AI also invades islands when he considers it is well worth it. And it is worth it only if you don't have where else to expand on the mainland.
