F5 to Dismount Cavalry breaks group designations.

Users who are viewing this thread

Example:

Pre Battle
- Place all infantry in group 1
- Place my mounted Companions all group 4

During Battle
- Dismount my Companions group 4 for whatever reason via F5/Dismount
- The "system" automatically consolidates group 4 into my infantry group 1 the millisecond my Companions dismount
- All my companions start running to join group 1 across the field of battle
- As you can imagine the results are disastrous.
- This happens with any/all mounted units. Not just companions.

This is game breaking and needs to be fixed. When I played early access religiously back in 2020 this NEVER, EVER happened. I could dismount ANY unit, fight as needed, and they'd stay in their designated grouping. I could even order them back onto their mounts. This is currently IMPOSSIBLE with the current state of the game.

Whenever we dismount ANY mounted group via the F5 command, the group designations needs to stay in place!

I believe this was intended to help when cav is dismounted because their mount died. Instead of trying to follow the rest of the cav on foot, the unit would join the nearest melee/archer group.

The problem imo is that this does not distinguish why a cav got dismounted. We need a way the AI can discern being forcibly dismounted to being told to do so.
