Tournaments in Floris (2.55) - Is it intended to use battle commands?

[ladymarion]

True, tournaments are much harder than in native but:
I can use battle commands while in a tournament. And what I've found is for example that I can tell my group to "follow me". What I could use to my advantage. Big advantage.

One tactic:
Let your team "follow" you and surround yourself around your teammates. Let the enemy engage them first. Then run around and take the enemy/enemies from the behind while they fight with your teammates. Makes winning a lot easier...at cost of your teammates, though. 

So is it intended to use battle commands in tournaments?

I think that's how it works in Native too? I'm pretty sure a lot of the other mods I've played also allow that, but I haven't really played Native in years so I can't say for sure. I pretty much always do it because if your 8 guys split up to fight 3 different groups in a tournament you're pretty much done for.

One thing I am sure of is that in Native Multiplayer, you can issue such orders as well (bots on your team will follow), so I wouldn't be surprised if tournaments in the single player campaign were like that too.

Yes.  This is a valid tactic and I believe is also available in native gameplay.
