Roman Style Armors/Shields/Tactics

[TheHappyPyro]

Anyone else imagine a burly man yelling orders and soldiers getting into position in a large shield wall with spears pointed outwards and arrows firing?
I was thinking maybe ingame we could add roman tactics, as well as shields.
Like, ordering my troops to get into Phalanx positions, and having a little man tank walk around stabbing people with its spears.

This has come up before, type shield, tactics, medieval, roman. . . probably some other key words into the search engine. Also there might be a mod request going in the modding forum for a roman mod.

I like the Idea of a Roman sheilds I imagine if this were added we could customise icons onto it (When chris had tackled more pressing things so that would be ages before that was added) but it would be cool to mkae walls of men with shelids.

I think this is cool but since well katana's are more Japanese than roman, if you have something like this then every faction should have the option to follow a set of different tactics and not just one area like Roman, Japanese, Celtic or anything like that.
So in saying all this perhaps its just best to add options where you use things like Rank and File or some form of organized tactics that dont specifically target one genre
