HokieBT said:very cool. also, how did you create the new font? When we tried the only way was by editing the font.xml file in the root of M&B....
As to the font, I don't know much about it. It's originally for the Chinese version. I just downloaded it and installed. But then later I changed back to English. And that's the result.

Wow, that looks beautiful. So, you can assign your companions to be sort of like captains to small batallions, inside your own army? How would that work with assigning mutliple formations to a single unit type, though?
Anyway, wow. This seems great.

I assign them array numbers according to the party division in big map.

How does the command system work? How do you order the various groups around?

I see, but I doubt those 15 levels work for infantry. Infantry can walk or run, that's all. Unless you applied some really evil
They walk or run, I care not. I just call them to follow a constantly moving point. Easy trick?
+Knight said:OK, I've got it now. Have just looked through the code, nice work
I am currently doing yet another version of formations behaviour, but it is far from release ATM.
So what will be in it?
This kit is far from complete I have to say. There's much to dig in.

It is too early to announce something specific. Just concepts.
The concept is to make M&B battles of larger scale to resemble real medieval battles. M&B does it great when number of agents is low, that is, in skirmishes. It was intended for that type of action eventually. But people can have relatively large battles nowadays and that's where skirmish behaviour is completely unsuitable. In other words, I want infantry formations clashes, lines of archers, epic cavalry charges - that sort of things, when there are enough men on the battlefield.
In the alpha version I will try to make the ordinary M&B with agents charging in formations. If successful, I plan to add some AI tactics. The original M&B concept will remain - the player will not command formations (I don't want to remake Medieval 2 Total War), he/she will just fight along with AI agents. My goal is the medieval battle feel and look, because it's frickin' fun, I think.

Sounds great. The AI stuff is also the next thing I want to tap on.
This is pretty damn impressive. I reckon you've done everyone here a service.
