formations

Sometimes when I join battles involving lords form AI parties they are in the infantry group. This includes allies and enemy lords. This isn't always the case, some of the lords go in as cavalry and I'm not sure what decides if this does or does not happen, but I'll post an update if I notice...

It would be really nice to have the ability to select which units to charge/harass or otherwise target. Light cavalry has historically been used to kill routing troops or undefended archers. Not that easy to get your light cavalry in Bannerlord to charge archers specifically.. Heavy cavalry...

I'll start with a picture, and explain below 1. Change troop grouping to drag'n'drop, rather than clicking on the little banner. Just drag whatever troop you want to have in group 2, and drop it under it's mark in the troop list. Each group would show troop count (including wounded troops...

Why are spears being held incorrectly by every model? They're always held in the center of the shaft in-game. Why can't we be allowed to use the full length of spears? I'd also like it if spears couldn't do much of any damage with the haft and that the spear-head always had a hitbox. Having A.I...

Summary: Currently and since release, AI formations are not effective in combat because troops' weapons consistently collide with their allies behind them. This is not intended design, and we have identified the culprit code. It is only a matter for your developers to trace and debug its...

Should be pretty straightforward. When combining multiple formations into a single formation, or number assigned to troops (infantry, archers, etc.) all units are no longer under your command and just default to either charging or just standing in whatever formation they were in last. Toying...

I'm really surprised I didn't see anything about this on the already suggested section. Unless I over looked it. Mines a pretty simple suggestion though I don't know how easy it is to implement as far as programming. So far, you have your groups separated by large types of game play. Such as...

Same as last week, seeing as we enjoyed it so much.

Is there a way to train your army for formations outside of the actual battles you are involved in please? I'd like to take some time to discover the formations and then move sections around without having to do it in a battle, so I am a little more fluent and can also make notes of queuing orders.

Seems like every time the AI lord goes for a strategy of ranged in the center with infantry encircling to protect, allied troops get stuck in an endless blob of running back and forth around a central blob of stationary troops. They don't react to enemies until they're right on top of them. Over...

Spears and pikes are terrible to the point of being useless in Bannerlord. Or any polearm, really, their main advantage is being a group fighting weapon and their immense reach. Now irl, if you've a shield and proper training with it, it is possible that you can block one thrust and rush in to...

Like the title says, whenever you make multiple different formations in your party UI screen, it gets reset back to default after reloading the game. I spent awhile making new formations for all my units so I could be more tactical in battle, but when I came back to play the next day, all my...

Even cavalry without lances, even singular raiders, easily penetrate "Circle" and "Square" 400-500 man formations of heavy speared infantry, kill archers inside, goes though and goes out another side. Soldiers are not active, 90% of the time simply standing and waiting for their doom not being...

I am not entirely sure this is a bug, but the first Vlandian crossbowman you promote from the Vlandian recruit is listed as infantry. This can be fixed manually by changing it's formation to 'II', but the formation will reset after your party no longer has any. Can be a bit annoying. Please...

Bug Description: Heroes are set to Formation 1 in the Party Menu but in battle they are mixed in with the Cavalry Group (Formation 3). Previously I could press 1 in battle to select only heroes (2 for archers, 3 for cav, etc.), 1 selected everyone so I reloaded and now 1 selects infantry even...

So now a freshly started character out of blue knows every unit formation and how to employ them in battle and is able to make even untrained troops like recruits follow formation orders and orders in general perfectly. This kind of contradicts how other skills you need to level at some degree...

What do they actually do whilst fighting? And where should I position them? All my girl did was die :-p and I put her range formation.

You have 40 ppl in your party. 50 archers are coming at you in open field You have an even mix of Infantrymen, horse archers, horsemen, and archers. How would you set up formations? this is mostly out of curiosity for myself as I struggle with large groups of archers currently :)

theres no reason a line formation, or shield wall shouldnt walk with you pretty much side by side, instead of following u from behind. You should be able to get into a formation, and have a *slot* in the formation.. IE, the same way groups line up (with their little flag icon) 1) YOU can be...

I like the whole aspect of formations but different formations seem to make no difference in any way. aside from shield wall against archers, because if you don't order them to go into a shield wall many units seem to openly invite arrows into their faces. Square formations don't really stop...
