    Icon3 Famous Roman shield advance

    just saying if ur legion is in combat right click behind the enemy say 2 inches behind the enemy and ur units will slowly advance killing as they go, quite realistic and awesome if u ask me, recreates that famous advance stabing with their gladius, its epic wonder if theres a mod that could make them maintain their formation......

    u can kinda do it tho just right click behidn the enemey unit that ur engaging and it marches through them killing them, it inflicts heavy cassulites but very risky cause u need alot of romans not just 1 unit

    Myself, I use the ole right click on the enemy approach, call me old fashioned but that is how I play.

    Added to that.. or rather some more finesse to that maneuver:

    • Engage the enemy first for roughly 30secs-1min.
    • drag the columns shape behind the enemy unit allowing for maximum dispersal.
    • then quickly tap the run hotkey.
    • once the cohort has merged to your satisfaction, press the the stop hotkey, at least 2-3 lines deep again pending on unit size, available troops etc.
    • the cohort immediately starts to spread and take out enemy troops almost instantaneously, mouse over the
      enemy unit and you will see that you get a,lmost a charge result of anywhere between 10-30 kills depending on the relative units toughness etc
