Hello
Well it struck me that rome has one missing formation from the romans,
i would love to see if any one can make the wedge formation that they used in battle especialy for breacking up the enemys formations.
Here is an image of the wedge formation so please would someone with the knowledge make this formation for the game i think it would enhance the battles when attacking as the romans

If the Romans after the Marian reforms used that i can say as far as i know
that the special ability slot of the romans is already full with the testudo formation(the legionaries)

Its a pity as i would have liked to try this formation and use the tactics to see if it was as good as it was thought

You could always ask Darth or Sinhuet if they fancy giving this a try, have it as a formation rather than a special attribute, i don't know much about how formations are made but i guess this is possible.

many thanks

This cannot be done. Unless done in a semi-wedge way.

(For example to have 1 unit in front, 2 behind, 3 more behind etc.) = check my Alexander Macedonian formation how I put the cavalry to the right.
But also there is a limit of 16 available blocks in RTW-BI.

Also the AI will be confused bcs we have to use resources of blocks for cavalry, general etc. leaving possibly only 10 blocks to work with.
Could fix 2-3 wedges possibly in this form.
