Hoplite Wall is an ability available to most units with the Hoplon shield, after which the unit is named. It is very useful defensively and offensively if used correctly.
Note: A perceptive viewer noted that the Hoplites take less casualties 6 ranks deep than 2 - which I think is because the Noble Horse Archers were firing from a depression in the ground in the first instance, and not in the second. On completely flat terrain, the Noble Horse Archers kill about 10-15 more on 6 ranks deep than when the Hoplites are 2 ranks deep, so spaghetti lines are viable.
