    You cant get your men to put their shields in front until the enemy are close right? At least... I didnt think you could.?

    The shieldwall formation is just a really tight formation. The men will never put their shields out unless there are enemies near. That is hardcoded it seems.

    Once I did get my men to make a "testudo line" I have no idea how it happened and could never get it again, but even when no enemies were near, a 4 rank line the front rank had the shields out and the 3 rear ranks had them over their heads. Could never repeat the bug though.
