Most people say ligth inf isn't worth it - crappy protection, low combat stats and morale, so they're beatn up pretty fast with heavy losses (and the AI building droves of them doesn't help her either).

Here's a fix that (maybe) is easier to implement than "formations" for all troop types:

A Light inf unit shouldn't move into a square where a unit from the same squad is already present - just if they where of oger-size.

This way they
- cover more front line with less troops
- are harder to take out with archery/area effect spells
- could pass through each other (squad-wise), so you could stack them behind each other with "fire and flee"-order and they would charge forward, fire and retreat without getting stuck

Or wouldn't this work for some reason ?
