Is it possible to make armies start more distant from eachother in battles

[crazyshadowdami]

I wanna use formations and stuff, but it's difficult when the enemy cavalry is already slaughtering my troops as they autistically try follow my commands. I already know how to make the actual battle map bigger, but I don't think that affects the troop's starting positions.

Try placing spearmen/heavy infantry on the top of your troop list, if you're going against a cav heavy army, quickly command them into a tight formation, give you a bit of time to organise your cav and archers

Maybe try some mod like;

I think there is one other but I cannot remember/find, maybe someone else does.

I know that mod already, but still, by the time I do with my troops everything I want to, the cavalry is already here. Maybe my spearmen are capable of making it but I still am not capable of using my archers to their full potential.

Making the map bigger does affect starting positions, you just have to delete the relevant scn_ file in sceneobj. Be sure to backup.

Formations ai is also nice. Instead of that silly circling, the ai also takes time to position before advancing and flanking etc. giving you plenty of time to react.

Thanks, I'll try it and see how it goes.
