formation

Hi everyone. The phrase "troops in the formation you are leading" appears in many perk descriptions but the game doesn't really explain what it means. How do I lead a formation? Is it the "follow me" command? Or does it apply to my entire army?

Summary: Since the start of my new game in this new beta, I keep giving my companions different saddles and horses but they stay in the infantry formation, even my brother. This applies to all of them except my wife. Version: e1.4.3 - Beta Installed community-made modifications: none Computer...

but to prevent overusing it; only at army vs army battles and only for ordering all formations at once. You can consider to use different sounds for different orders and cultures, even cheer sounds for charge command for intensity.

Currently at the start of a siege, the AI commander will automatically take command. That's fine, I can manually retake command with F6. HOWEVER, AI commander also like to mess with your troop assignment, mixing all the troops together, so your command ability is greatly affected. I don't...

Their personal effects are equal. But formation bonus of Deflect gives %2 attack speed and %4 damage approximately (with my weak calculation) to one handed weapons in all stuations. Basher formation bonus gives -%4 malee damage taken only in shield wall which is currently next to useless and...

I was thinking AI was ordering group 1 to loose formation until i experience this after last update. I start to battle and order group 2 to loose, also group 1 gets loose and i cant return it to line formation.

why cant we use commands like protect the flanks or skirmish etc is there a mod out there that unlocks this or is it just not available to player only ai?

1. Groups in the formation. I play with different troops of different factions. It’s not very convenient to appoint people in the 7th or 8th formation. I suggest adding 4 groups to the formation. Suppose we just started the game in party, we are alone , as soon as we buy recruits they fall into...

like the title said, what is the intended use of cavalry? in terms of situations, formations and commands? how many to have in terms of % of your army? if you know please tell me the answer and your source, if not you are welcome to post any speculations you might have here. also i'm interested...

Earlier versions had the troops in a nice infantry is in the front, archers are behind type of start, now, in 1.4.1 they are all in a single line.

Game crashes if I transfer some archers to skirmishers formation (2 > F7) and then tell skirmishers to go into loose formation (7 > F3 > F3). Crash happens on second F3 press, which is the moment the character would shout "loose formation", after having selected skirmishers (7). I can tell...

I've noticed that if a lord is on horseback but treated as infantry, when you issue an order to the infantry, he joins the infantry battleline but then any formation change for the infantry uses the cavalry spacing! e1.41.

Drag and drop is useless on forest maps. It is blocked by trees. Even the view is limited by trees, I can't deploy troops as I intended. It's really annoying to fight on forest. I don't know what the developers were thinking. I need more sight to command my army. :sad: At least, it should be...

I've recruited Abigail, a Fatherless, three Aserai Wanderers, two Silents and a Spicevendor. I've equipped them all with war horses, bows and arrows in the first and second equipment slots, respectively, and a one-handed sword and a two-handed polearm in the third and fourth slots, respectively...

This is not a rant, but rather a compliment so read through. I find myself unable to really enjoy the game until the combat AI is fixed, that is spearmen don't get totally obliterated by cavalry and 500vs500 infantry clash in not over in about 30seconds. But, I can't help but notice the...

Early in the game I noticed castle defenders in the courtyard were not attacking, they were just bunched into a square and eating hits from all sides. Earlier today I set my units to square formation in front of a small bridge ot defend against looters, and my troops just ate their attacks and...

I haven't fully fleshed out these ideas, so I hope the community can help. Problem #1: The context of every battle is basically the same Problem #2: The time I get to spend fighting in a battle is very limited Problem #3: I do the same thing in every battle Problem #4: There is nothing to react...

Summary: Large numbers of troops trying to get into column formation causes many troops to get stuck/left behind for a while. How to Reproduce: Setup a large formation (I did it in custom battle) and tell them to get into column formation. At large numbers, many troops will have issues doing...

Mercenary Guards and Mercenary Crossbowmen (and possibly others, too) regularly and constantly get put in the wrong formation as infantry. As they use a crossbow I want them to be shooting with the archers of course.

If you assign someone to the formations V(Skirmisher), VI(Heavy Infantry), VII(Light Cavalry) and VIII(Heavy Cavalry) then the following issues occur: 1) On the world map, hovering over your own character will show "ERROR: Text with id str_troop_type_name doesn't exist!" 2) Reloading the save...
