Nordo's Improved Formations

Hi folks,
Here is a simple mod that rebalances battle stat boni given by formations.
This mod includes:

• High missile block chance for Roman testudo
  
• higher melee defence and missile block bonus for Shield wall, hoplite wall and similar formations.
  
• Slightly increased effect of some general abilities like inspire and motivation.
  
• other balancing improvements

I gave my best to find good and logical values for the stat effects. During a long time the hoplite phalanx and shield wall tactics were very important in the main melee combat. Units can fight and survive longer in good formations when their companions protect their sides. Formations won't become OP by this mod but if you're in frontline vs. frontline combat you can now be sure that shield or phalanx tactics give you a correct bonus.

Tipp: If you're attacking flanks or from behind, disable all formations or use squares. Futhermore you should deactivate "keep formation" if your units fight in more than one direction.
