    In their descriptions, some of my units can use the shield wall and schiltrom. Yet in battle, they have no special abilities.

    Is that just for BI?

    We have our own version of the shieldwall, pressing the guard button will tighten the formation of Hoplitai and the like.

    We don't have the schiltrom in any form, nor is it included in our descriptions. This must be a BI thing.

    Don't you mean the loose/tight formation button? (Where the "loose" formation is the "shieldwall".)

    Schiltroms is indeed a BI thing, as are "real" shieldwalls (as in a shieldwall that's built into the battle system, like the [sarissa-]phalanx formation).

    Kinda like in SPQR eh? Strange though, I've never noticed it in EB. Will try guard mode and formation buttons next time to try and find it.

    As for the Schiltrom, Polybian Triarii have that formation. See the EDU.

    If you installed a non official EB mod, like Darth or others, those changes are for EB with BI.

    Cheers.
