If i go in to the unit description files, and give some hoplites the testudo formation ability, will they be able to do it, or do they not have the necessary animations? PLz help
 
It will crash... and If you do somehow manage to make it work you will probably be realising how stupid putting Hoplites in a tustudo formation is...
 
Hoplites in testudo would be like a hedgehog or porcupine instead of a tortoise. Interesting idea. They would be protected from both arrows and cavalry attack. Of course, since the hoplite aspis is so much smaller than the Roman scutum, they wouldn't be provided with as much missile protection as the Romans.

It would be kind of like the (most likely incredibly unhistorical, like the rest of the movie) shield dome thing in the Spartans last stand in 300.
 
Shield dome thing looks possible but only thing that the spears are easily blocked.
