1) That is a possibility we will have to look into. I think that it would be a nice feature to have.
2) never mention the stolen version.

Well, they first have to proof themselves imo. We've only seen previews.
Their is many great mods out there so far which are good aswell:

Roma Surrectum
XGM
Europa Barbarorum

But so far, this mod is looking great and very interesting.

Another thing that could be done to hoplites is lower their soldier radius, which would make them hold a tighter formation when attacking the enemy and make shield wall less important.

About Shieldwall, its great yet when I played BI it was never automaticly enabled.

If it isn't automaticly enabled then please don't use it, I would hate fighting AI al the time with only me having shield wall, it takes the fun away. Instead you could pick closer radius for all Hoplite units, then the AI would have it as well!

And the shieldwall in BI is useless. The units move slow, and they only fight by standint 10 feet away from the enimy with 3 or 4 people walking up and engaging. Just making them closer and giving high defence would work very well. It does in EB at least.

Actually after testing the shield wall improves the fighting. Without it they fight as a mob and in a disoderly fashion which was unlike the hoplite style of fighting. It was like a huge gladiator battle when i tested the mod.

**Phalanx300** · May 03, 2009, 06:45 AM

But do the AI Hoplites also use Shieldwall?

Isn't fun if you're the only one with shield wall

All you have to do is put it in that defence mode, and they hold formation. Shieldwall just doesnt work right.

Well, then just don't use it. Just because you don't like it, it doesn't mean it shouldn't be in.

@Phalanx
Yeah, I've seen AI hoplites in XGM use it, but only when on the defensive.
