Playing 1.4.0 that was upgraded into e1.4.2. I've noticed problems with formations.
- The face enemy command isn't working correctly in many situations. For example when I attack sea raider hideouts, they will face away away from the enemy even when there is only one force in one particular direction. While they are initially facing a decent direction, as you advance they continue to face the same direction regardless of the enemies location. This causes heavy loses unless I micro their orientation toward missile troops, which quite honestly I can't issue orders that quickly. I'm fast but not that fast when there is a lot going on. This isn't limited to attacking sea raiders but I found that to be the most prominent and reproducible location.
- When Commanding a formation in another generals army, I couldn't get my infantry to do anything other than the "loose" formation. Issuing orders into line and shield wall had no effect on the formation.
- When fighting in a siege battle, my companions were randomly assigned to formations when I had specifically assigned them, for example, to archers or cavalry. I confirmed this was random as two companions assigned to the first formation, infantry, ended up in different formations in the siege. Other soldiers, also seemed to be randomly assigned, as some of my infantry ended up in my cavalry formations.
- When reloading the game, your custom formations are reset. It holds custom formations until you exit the game - this has been a problem since the start of Early Access.
