That´s what I thought!

I´ve always liked Battle for Middle Earth style! But that game had a problem, when you choose several squads they move mixed.

@real_tabasco_sauce 1. "units don´t actually fight in the formation" wrong, if you put your troops in front the enemy´s units they will fight while maintaining formation. 2. The battle formation exist to be an advantage in battle, no one chooses battle formation for cosmetic but for win. 3. Bonuses are not rare in this game, for example range bonus: ir you build a tower in high ground, it´ll have more range. I don´t see how complicated the solution I´m proposing is.

Well, that´s the point of add battle formation bonuses. You will have an advantage in the game if you use it.

An interestic point of 0 A.D is the battle formation of most of the faction in the game: Phalanx for Greeks, Testudo for Romans, etc. But, does not exist are battle formation bonuses, wich is a drawback because it´s necesary. Melee units die very quickly againts ranged units, witch make very hard to invade enemy city and forces the player to use specific units like cavalry, rendering melee units useless. The necesary solution is implement battle formation bonuses for each faction in the game, add defence bonus againts melee attack to Phalanx and testudo formation, and add defence bonus againts ranged attack with a shield wall formation. Here an example of Celt shield wall formation:

For default the militay units capture the buildings when you make click in the enemy buildings, but when i do that the units just attack to destroy the buildings. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game but didn´t work, I need help!

An example:

I´m talking about the shield of the basic units.

There is no justification for shields not have hand protection, the basic units most have in their shields hand protection made of wood as shown in the photos, mid and elite units can have in their shields hand protection made of iron.

The basic units looks awful, the shield most have hand protection made of wood, and basic units needs more variety in the clothing. For the shields, the basic units most have hand protection made of wood and the mid and elite units most have hand protection made of iron. Also, i want to design new models for the shields.

And maybe too a swordman elite unit, like this:
