    Default Equite can't form wedge

    hi,

    i'm kind of new here, an i 've done so far like 4 installation of RTR platinium and lats time i install
    i can't form extra formation with my units
    i play Rome and never have the choice to form wedge with my equite for example.

    Does someone knows the matter ? and maybe a way to fix it ?
    as i don't have phalanx, i don't know if i can form phalanx.

    thx to let me know

    w#

    You can only form phalanx as it was in RTW with the phalangite units(macedonian style of phalanx). The hoplites have a close order formation, but no phalanx ability. See this thread:

    The equites can`t form wedge because they don`t have that ability set. You can change that by going to Rome - Total War/data and editing the text file export_descr_unit (use notepad for example). Change this entry by adding the red part(remember to make a backup copy of the file before you edit it):

    Code:
    type             roman light cavalry
    dictionary       rtr_roman_light_cavalry
    category         cavalry
    class            light
    voice_type       Light_1
    soldier          roman_equites, 20, 0, 7.4

    Yes, those abilites that are part of the description instead of being generated by the game`s engine based on the stats available have not been brought up to date. They`re just part of the description and can be changed to about anything or even removed. I think most are there as they were in vanilla RTW. "Beyond elite" for example does not reflect anything concrete.
