Title: New Defensive Formation: Militia
Summary: New defensive formation, available to all marshals, for fighting monsters/undead
Details:
Formation would place all troops on line 2. Ranged troops don't move from line 2. Infantry and cavalry attack line 1 after 2 rounds of combat.
Benefits: This would help armies take advantage of militia in regions without walls, or act as militia when defending against monsters and undead.
Possible Exploits: None.
Usually battles with undead and monsters do not include the marshal or SiC, unless they just happen to be there. In my experience more than three units in the battle are rare, formations do not really do much at that point.

Well, not just undead and monsters, but anytime you are defending a region without walls, but with militia present. It's nice to have them take some of the hits. the standard Infantry Wall and Fortification Deploy put your infantry in front of the militia.
This is basically an extended Archer Opening for defending forces.
