Hey, could it be possible to create front/flank/rear for units, and give it variable defense bonus, to increase possible tactics ?

Great idea. Should also apply to anti-cavalry bonus. However, I would define "front" as being wherever first attack of the turn falls. Would allow for a Great General bonus to extend this to 2 attacks or even all attacks.

It would be great, the battle would be much more tactical.
But I don't agree with the idea anyway
I don't think it fits Civ, it would make the battle too complex for what this game is. Such mechanics are perfect in games focusing especially on turn-based combat, like the great Incubation from Blue Byte.
You would either get people complaining that you cannot rotate the unit, or (if rotation would be possible), it would add the need of additional UI controls. Plus another visual clues in the UI and additional information about all the bonuses etc.

Yeah, this is a decent idea but it doesn't suit Civ.
