Yeah but trebuchets have 2 special abilities in M2TW, fire ammo and dead cows, how is that so ?
P.S. I like your quotes Patriote

Re: some possible formations
that means many other units also can. but the question is if it is possible to make new formations.
btw, agree on patriotes quotes.
Re: some possible formations
The catapults thing is a special case, i do not think it can be applied to unit formations.
We cannot create new unit formations.

Re: some possible formations
really? well you dont REALLY need rotten cows, so you can probably mess with the code to make a formation. plus the stichrom can be usd as orbus. the wedge is already there. there are two formation slots that probably won't be used: rotten cows and explosive shells. skimishing mode is basically loose formation, and repel cavalry and testudo can fill up the slots that rotten cows and explosive shells. sorry for the bad grammar, im in a hurry to write this.
Re: some possible formations
Mmm, you have misunderstand me completely. We cannot "mess" with the code in any form. We can't change rotten cows into "cool new formation" nor anything similar. That is not data we have access to.

Re: some possible formations
I NEVER said cool new formation. And what, you're not even gonna make a testudo? can't you, you know, change some sort of animation? And you wont keep the spear wall formation for the phalanx, will you? I mean, it wasn't even invented till the 13th century by william wallace.
Re: some possible formations
The spear wall wasnt invented until the 13th century? By William Wallace? Really? How would you describe the Phalangitai formation except as a "wall of spears".
"well you dont REALLY need rotten cows, so you can probably mess with the code to make a formation."
As rotten cows isn't a formation turning it into a formation would be the creation of a "new" formation.
However, we can make the testudo as it still exists in the code (it was just disabled). Whether it will be used in the game is not yet sure. It was not a formation used in field battles, but rather a special formation used in particular situations during siege battles.
