Anyone know what this cohort formation is?

Take a look at this . I've never seen this before. Being out numbered by the standard SPQR average of 10 trillion to 1 or whatever I formed my men into a defensive square then I noticed on of my front cohorts were holding there shield in an unusual fashion. They also had their pilums out ready to attack (like skirmishers do) which I've never seen before I don’t how to replicate this so any thoughts are welcome.

The only thing this bear any resembalance to is this formation used to repel cavalry;

Yeah I've noticed that formation in my Vanilla campaign a lond time ago. I've only seen it twice the entrie time I've played so far though.

Its a bad bug, I never ever seen it before. This is the second time I seen another was in another picture somehwhere else in vanilla or whatever. They wont fight only the front rank. Bad luck really I would start the battle again. lol I told you to use shield wall with 2 ranks you abuse it you may get the bug. lol

Anyway hopefully the bug will be gone with 6.0 since I use new gladius animation instead of the vanilla. but its SO rare. but some guy got it regularly after instealling BI or something at the .com forums. I've never seen it before until then.

Ave Freddie!

Had you not on the one cohort the turtle unit formation ON? It appears me as the turte and the rectangle defensive group formation could only done it more wider.

No the turtle formation if off but I see were your coming from. I think the coolest thing about this glitch is the fact that they all have their pilums out ready throw just like they would have in real life!

That would be cool if it was possible to add that formation, but it's probably just a glitch.

It's not a bug ppl, its a F E A T U R E!
IMHO it looks pretty cool!

Its a bug, because they wont fire or attack in the back ranks. lol useless. if it worked it would be great, but it doesnt. BUt it could have been a formation they planned on then dumped you never know.
