Why is it that when I am besieged in a city and my forces sally forth the units are in a big, odd square formation instead of the usual line? Is there any way to alter that or is that some kind of hard coded thing?

"We can't bust heads like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to tell them stories that don't go anywhere. Like the time I took the ferry to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe so I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on them. Give me five bees for a quarter you'd say. Now where were we, oh ya. The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions because if the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...."

I don't know how to change this, but you can change the formations yourself by right clicking and dragging. That should solve the problem

Just click and drag as suggested. The biggest problem for me when sallying is getting the troops out the gates... It takes forever even on 3x speed.Originally Posted by blacksmithn

I always make them march in neat order through the gates and just sit back and enjoy the sight of these perfect marching collumns

I'm too impatient for that, but I love to watch the armies walking towards each other in a pitched battleI always make them march in neat order through the gates and just sit back and enjoy the sight of these perfect marching collumns

"Pompeius, after having finished the war against Mithridates, when he went to call at the house of Poseidonios, the famous teacher of philosophy, forbade the lictor to knock at the door, as was the usual custom, and he, to whom both the eastern and the western world had yielded submission, ordered the fasces to be lowered before the door of science."
Pliny the Elder, Naturalis Historia, 7, 112
