how do you get them to stay in formation when attacked?

You will probably have to issue a "stand ground" order. For that you need to have the "show advanced options" activated, in the Tools & Options menu.
I hope that Super7700 will find a way to make it less micro-management heavy, but even he he doesn't we can still click the formations button.

Yes that's correct. I will try my best to incorporate some sort of formations system, though it really depends on whether it is possible with the game engine or not.

Description

The pike phalanx dominated warfare for much of the Hellenistic Era, so it will have an important part in this mod. The Seleucids and the other successor states can recruit three different pike-armed units to make up their phalanx. The Seleucids can train Pantodapoi Phalangitai, levied soldiers who should only be called upon in desperate situations; Pezhetairoi, who form the backbone of every successor state's force; and Argyraspides, an elite unit composed of older veterans.
