The only issue with trying to replicate a formation of ancient times is the fluidity that they used. And the knowledge to adapt your formation. But looks well eno7gh
Also similar to the Spanish Tercio. The most basic version of this would be a circle formation. Square makes it easier to control and focuses enemy forces on few predictable points. The main advantage over a line formation is that all troops are close together and can mutually support each other, which helps if your army lacks mobile quick response units or reserve. The downside is that you give away the control over battlefield, so pretty much only useful if enemy has to come to you.
it's just a noob box that you failed to actually research…

looks good , but how actually usefull or good is it in game ?
Its not good. Unless the enemy is reinforcing from behind you. Its a waste of infantry. Need more archers or other range
China vs the environment? Seems legit.
Cool vid! The formation is pleasing to the eye.
Why peasant spearman and not jade warrior halberds?
