i imagine the attack animations of the Spearman "Sparabara A" is stationary, the shield struck on the ground and use it as a cover for stabbing the sides and upside. Won't be able to make a lower stab.

I'm not sure but it looks like they glide a bit :/ Otherwise looking cool !

[Alexandermb]

Are we sure the tower shield has the correct size? it looks kinda small.

Here can be seen everyone has a different kind of animation for combat, but when idle doing nothing they remain using the relax variant:

Not sure about this, look like inexpert soldier, look the spear is bad balanced, so the movement can be risk in the real life.

Una vez me lesioné el tobillo así.

Try think the advantage to use the shield to the ground, is for make more comfortable than an aspis. and get other kind a balance, more cheaper to trainnig an athletes soldier.

 

Remember the basic pose, basic mechanic, base leg movement.

i'm using it as it was a wall but somehow the 0 AD tower shield looks very small compared to every references, so i just improvised a semi crouched stance notice the shield is always in the same spot and never goes further, compared to the celt spearman or the hoplite.

Básicamente es Como hacer un desplante hacia adelante, nota que la rodilla no se mueve al los lados(se quebrada o se dislocaria)

The swordplay is similar , the advantage of Persian is use the shield to a kind of third leg, to make balanced movement. like a lever.

[Lion.Kanzen]

I liked is similar to boxing to defend-counter attack.

Check the legs and torso.

 

[Alexandermb]

This is what i had in mind, a wall of shields when they attack whitout needing a specify a formation

The shields are very updated, they are tiny.

Check balance, forward movement, legs, shield placement, defense (try to protect the head) and down the torso.
