    Dugunthiz (Germanic Spearmen) "work in close or open formation" and they have javelines
    Herthaganautoz (Germanic Bodyguard Infantry) are bodyguards and not line Infantery, also the unit description says nothing about shieldwall
    Thegnoz Drugule (Germanic Heavy Infantry) swordmen, I dont think they were able to fight in close formation and use their swords like the Romanii, they would fight individually.
    Herunautoz (Germanic Swordsmen) swordmen and javeline, the unitdescription says "dense formations" but if they throw a javeline, they need space
    Dugunthiz Hattisku (Chatti Spearmen) they have javelines too
    Gaizoz Alje (Celto-Germanic Spearmen) description says nothing about shieldwall or dense formation
    Milnaht "Aside from their charge, they form an impressive, tight 'shieldwall' type of formation, to resist opposing charges." that can be better represented with guardmode, they would not charge in a dense formation

    The Germanics were known to fight in very dense formations. The levy units were from childhood introduced to war, and being Germanics they would have a closer formation then most other levies.

    On the spear and swordsmen, they were known to form a shieldwall/very dense formation, at the very least a very dense formation. They have javelins yes, but that does not change that they fought in the shieldwall as well. The Germanics were all around troops.

    The bodyguard units would essentialy be the heavy form of the spear and swordsmen.

    On Milnaht, then we might as well give Hoplites just guard mode at well. I don't really like this preference for Hellenic units.

    After all, this is EB, all factions should get equal treatment.

    If you would give all those units lower density, you would need to give it all Romans too. I think only those units that fought in a very dense formation nearly all the time of a battle (no sword or javeline), for example all units that lost their phalanxability in 1.0 (not sure could be 1.1 too) should get a lower density.
    Not really as all those units I posted fought in a Phalanx/Shieldwall/Dense formation.
