Auras for balancing practice

[Phalanx]

Does the game have the ability to use combat auras yet?  Like, to increase stats?

 

For instance, I know that the code for maintaining formation while attacking isn't done yet, but possibly could the damage/defense bonuses for whatever formations be implemented as an aura for the purpose of seeing how formation attack units interact on the battlefield in terms of stats?

I don't really understand what you mean. But for example, you have yet "aura formation". See for example Iphicrates aura wich give bonus (armor and speed) to all members of its formation.

I guess, I mean that while, for example, pikes or hoplites wont stay in formation when they attack, but there was apparently a plan to make them have increased damage and/or health when in formation.  Possibly we could have those temporarily have those implemeted as auras to see how that affects unit interactions.

@Phalanx: that's what is done in Delenda Est mod if I remember correctly (an aura for nearby hoplites).
