Simply Amazing  :grin: Who came up with it?

Its pure genius.To  have troops retreat when the battle is really bad in their favor and to really have routed troops on the map after a battle is one of the best systems is seen in a Mods.This is the kind of thing a that really should of been put in the Native by the developers.It so much better than running after lone cavalry in other mods and in Native.It was simply annoying but this system makes battles way more fun.Those where the reasons i used to autoresolve most battles but this makes gameplay way more fun and realistic.

To who ever though of and wrote this amazing System...

I Salute You!
 
Oh i didnt notice it  :oops:  Considering i only played a  little bit of warband before getting some mods on.I really though this was unique to this mod.

don't worry there's a ton of other stuff that's unique here.. like Achievements, Tons more Building Customizations for your Towns,Villages, etc.. You'll discover them soon enough don't worry :smile:
 
Actually, the handling of retreat in PoP 3, Warband is a blend of Warband plus Treebeard's coding and his infamous Miss Vicky, so that this retreat is actually unique to our mod - also the voice orders to retreat (by Thief_3_Wannabe) are PoP's not Warband's.

It is quite different. While units still run headlong into 40 high tier archers without a problem they won't keep charging like they do in Warband, they just turn tail and run. I think Warband has a much later "can't retreat until X seconds" time or something, makes sense though.
What didn't make any sense was a full unit of infantry running headlong in arrow fire until there wasn't anyone left.
 
The AI called Miss Vicky applies only to disciplined troops. Minor faction parties and other rabble are undisicplined and usually use the warband charge. You may have encountered such an opponent or witnessed one of the few random headlong charges to keep battles random and funny - a little surprise element.

Unless you turned formations off to lower difficulty and steal the brain out of the AI.
