Wow, I gotta say, that is beautiful formation work! you got the ones in the back holding vertical, the ones in the middle inclined and the ones in the front forward!

 

[Ruthven]

You are truly amazing.

 

[iamahorse]

Wow...... I mean..... How exactly did you manage to accomplish this feat?

 

[Dain]

Nuts.... alot of things could be done with the way you've done the formation.

 

[Tiberius]

Now the question is... Does it actually work as one? I mean... do they actually kill the enemy using that formation or they just scatter once they meet the bad guys?

 

[iamahorse]

Yes. A video of this in action would be appreciated!

Look's kind of like what happens with Hegemony's Square when you use the Macedonian

Look's kind of like what happens with Hegemony's Square when you use the Macedonian

except this is much more organized.

well, this one has all the front-row soldiers actually holding their spears at the ready to thrust, and the middle ranks are blocking so their spears are mid-way down, and the back rows have it vertically up

please tell us how you did that! and a video like someone else said, if it is actually effective that is.

It also appears that the first few ranks are in a permanent state of attack? Looks great, but the downside is that it condenses the battle and makes it seem smaller.

Macedonian Phalanx.

Perhaps if you share your code, or the author shares his code, we might be able to help with that ineffectiveness issue.

Quite honestly, I have my suspicions that its actually just one big model, or perhaps a combination of models so that each troop appears to be a single file (either horizontally or vertically). Would account for the ineffectiveness. A video of it in action would throw my theory into the water though.

 

[Kolba]

Could you show us screenshots when cavalry arrives? It will be amazing!

The static model

Static model? I thought that troops are moving...
