A few questions

[feldwebel]

I don't use them myself, thus I cant really recommend you one but you'll find some in the SUBMOD SUB-Forum of the EB forum. Afaik there even is one in the recomended mod pack at the top of the list.

At the top of the list where? Also, Andy1984, thank for the link and the cavalry advice, but it looks like those formations are for earlier versions and not eb 1.2.

You're welcome.

Here you can find Marcus Camillius', Darth's and Sinuhet's AI formation mods. According to Lysander, they're compatible with EB1.2

I recommend that cavalry guide. I've been trying it with a few units of Illyrian light horse against small rebel stacks in my campaign, and the Illyrians tend to rout many enemy battlelines in a few seconds. The enemies do not route instantly, but by the time the last units hit home in the fourth charge in 10 seconds... yes, even from the front levy morale tends to break.

Wouldn't work against a proper army with a real general and is unrealistic for Romans anyway, but the piledriver works great for swatting small groups of enemies.

* remembers how his two or three units of Pahlava family members routed entire Roman imperial armies in custom battles *

Regardless of what formation mods you use, the AI will pull them out of that formation the moment battle starts. This is an RTW problem, not an EB problem.
