Adding Pre-Battle Orders and Deployment to PoP

[Aequites]

Hey there. I'm big fan of PoP since the first day I've tried it but I think it does lack the advanced way of positioning your troops on the field of battle. The moment I start battle infantry just goes left and forms a row and archers just go right and form a row as well.

That's not what I call tactics, to be honest. I've just played a mod where you can position your troops on some kind of map in the camp and when the battle starts they take those positions. That would be pretty awesome, I don't know that minimod name though (it's in L&D: Heroes of Calradia).

There's Pre-Battle Orders and Deployment Kit though with a lot of advanced options of moving your troops around and giving them orders (http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php?topic=142816.0). Perhaps the developers could add this mod to PoP or at least provide some tiny instruction on how to do this on my own without corrupting any game files? *I do have experience with module files.

I too have just began playing PoP, after playing a buch of mods with PBOD, and I really felt the difference. The VI formations are nice compared to no formations, but do not compare to the complexity of the PBOD formations. And also the other nice things, like the more complex troop assigning really make it desirable.

In my opininion, if we are talking about a new addition for 3.6, this would definitely be it.

Yea i like that mod too, most of all the volley fire option.
But PoP has already some Formations included like the shieldwall.

We will consider it for 3.6.

Good idea! Very handy if your fighting the Jatu and your troops won't listen and get slaughterd. And then you rage quit

Don't get your hopes up though.
