Default Plolybian Marian battle formation.

[Ivan_Moscavich]

I think I had read a while back that the team had changed the roman battle formation to more accurately represent the way romans were deployed.

It's great, except for a small issue that kind of bugs me every time I go into a battle.

When using the historical half roman, half socii army, the front line is consistent of roman hastate and princpes, and the second line consists of socii hastae and princpes like this.

Princepes Princpes Hastati Hastati
_______ _______ ______ ______

Soc Prin Soc Princ Soc Has Soc Has
______ _______ ______ _______


The Roman princpes and the Socii hastate should be switched around by default if possible.

Everything else about the formation, triari, socii trarii, cavalry, and ranged troops is just fine.

I've noticed something similair, but with with an exclusive socii army. The Socii Principes and Socii Hastati are the same infantry class (Heavy Infantry, I believe) and that is what is causing the problem when using them and the default roman formations.

[Ivan_Moscavich]

Odd. I could have sworn socii principes were "very heavy infantry" like the princpes were.

If that is indeed the case, switching them around should auto sort both princepes to the second line then.

I noticed this as well and agree with the OP, every battle I have to personally position them correctly.
