[RS 2.1] Shieldwall for roman hamata and segmentata legions rome 0-turn and 1-turn Updated

[chris10]

Incidentally, does anyone know why Spartan hoplites can do a shieldwall but all the other 'city' hoplites can't? like I know it's possible to give them shieldwall but I'm wondering why the team chose not to. And Triarii using both shieldwalls at once = winnage

I think there are 2 ??? hoplites making shieldwall,right?...Maybe this was to meant to simulate that they are ellite units.
Triarii can make Shieldwall only in BI.exe....so it was sort of obvious that I inlcuded it for them,too.
That Triarii got now a doubled function when playing with BI.exe...well...it could not be avoided as they all use the same EDU.

Hi chris,

Hi chris,

regarding my file install

looks good and must work in the campaign...not sure about custom battles because it is possible that the game uses the export_descr_units.txt file from the main data file and not the one from Rome_Play_1_Turn...so dont bother checking for shieldwall in customs battles

Next battle in your campaign you should select a Triarii unit and press the button with the 3 shields and get a close look on them...they will come very tight together...

when starting a new campaign of course Triarii will be the only unit where you notice the change...only after the Marian Reforms and when you will get the numbered Legions you can make use of this on a wider scale.

EDIT: solved

I have had a look at your work and this is a fantastic idea for those who prefer to use ALX as obviously it does not have shield wall could you expand it however and give all the units that have shield wall in BI to have this formation spacing for use with ALX
example: Kentronakan spear men, Celtic heavy spear men etc etc

1. Many thanks..very kind of you .
2. uuuuhhh...lot of work as this has to be done individually for every modfolderd faction and campaign and on the other hand I think this would cheapen seriously the feature...so...sorry...

[DedlySerious]

ok np thanks for the quick reply

[apulum]

will the ai(roman rebels) be able to use this after the rebelion is trigered

good question ...go figure it out ...

but seriously...I doubt that the AI would be "aware" of this as this is tied to the loose button and the AI would never use loose for Legionaries

[Kallides]

Cracks me up that they shout: "Units Loose Formation!" Just before locking their shields into a shield wall.

yeah...but there is no way to change that unless ALL roman units would respond "shieldwall" when using the "loose button"...
there is no way to tie a specific response to a specific unit
its just working for an entire "culture"..
