Formations

I was wondering how exactly the formations in 0 A.D. will work? In my head i picture selecting the units you want in the formation and then clicking a button. Say you wan't hoplites in a phalanx. I'd guess the the formation then move as one body a lá RTW. What I think would be great was if the phalanx dissolved if it was broken or flanked.

Also can Super Units be in formation with similar regular units (E.g. Spartiates in formation with regular Hoplites)?

You are correct MAXDARK. There is a specific order types of units go into when tasked to a formation. Ideally, one would only task one type of unit into its own formation, but when a mixed formation is created, generally cavalry goes in the front/flanks, melee infantry in the middle, and ranged units in the rear. Some formations are specific to unit-type. For instance, 'wedge' is specific to cavalry only; 'phalanx', 'syntagma', and 'testudo' are specific to melee infantry only; etc. etc.

Oh, and a phalanx will "dissolve" once the number of units falls below the minimum (usually killed) - resulting in the loss of the bonus the phalanx provided. This goes for most formations.

I'm not sure what you mean with "this ideas comes from lobby" the lobby is a recent feature from alpha 15, the forum exist even before than first pre alpha.
