Hi, I like the formations sistem in 0AD but i think it is currently a little useless: when two enemy formations crash, each soldier starts a hand-to hand combact and soldiers don't work together as in a real formation. For exeample, in the reality when two phalanxes fight the first line creates a "shield wall" that enemies can't walk through, while in the game when a falanx is attacked enemies can pass through the formation. So in my opinion it would be nice to implement this more realistic sistem, like this:
what do you think?
