New formation for Spearmens

<< < (2/2)

Caronis:
Ah ok... :/

So maybe give the ability to the higher levels will balance the formation ?

hoho96:
Or better yet. Remember in bfme1 the pike formation used to actually make sense  (soldiers form together tightly and point their pike wall to face the enemy).
I think it had a 40% bonus to cave from the front. However this formation would make the unit 50% slower i believe  (easy pick for archers) and since they point only one way, they can be easily flanked.
I loved this formation a lot more than the porcupine nonsense from bfme2. Why the hell would you have a third of your unit facing the enemy, and the rest just chilling out facing backwards!
It also made it extremely hard for cavalry to be of any use as a flanking force if the player microed his pikes in time. Just press the button and voila you'll be facing everywhere^^
Did i mention that it looks way cooler to have an army of pikes in a pike wall formation? You know, Helmsdeep, the Pelennor,... a pike wall always gives the chills :D

Gnomi:
As far as I know this Bfme I formation caused problems and is sadly not possible like that in Bfme II.

hoho96:
What a shame  :(
Maybe one there could be something working and interesting other than porcupine.
I wonder if ShieldWall formation can be of any use to a pike unit :/ i suppose the animations may glitch. But maybe it can be fixed? It may worth some experiments.

Gnomi:
We had already the experiments and it sadly wasn't possible. I'm personally also a big fan of the formation in Bfme I and would love to see it back, but as far as I remember the problem was always that they weren't able to move after the formation or the formation did no damage (similar to half trolls - knights just ran through them)
