Hi all!! A few weeks ago I asked here how you wanted your infantry to fight ( old post ). The top answer by far was "make them hold the line", so that's what I built. It was called Better Infantry AI back then, now it's Hold the Line , and it's out as a beta. Available in Nexus Mods. What it does: No more moshpit: soldiers keep their place in the line and step in and back a little instead of turning into one big blob. AI formations that make contact switch to a charge, so both sides fight the same way. Shields in the front rank: shield and spear first, then other shields, then spears and pikes, then everyone else. Works in shield walls too. No more falxmen eating javelins and arrows in the front while the shield guys wait in the back. Rear ranks fight with spears: the second rank thrusts past the guy in front instead of hitting their back and getting stunned. AI spearmen also keep the spear out more instead of always pulling the sidearm. Deep format...
When commanding your troops in the field, what if there was an option for some sort of command view where the game pauses and the camera changes to an overhead view where you can see the map and issue movement and formation units to your units?
I find that with the current style of commands it's hard to get movement just right. For example getting archers to position correctly on a specific hill, and melee to stand in front.
As a long time player I've always found the current commands kinda klunky but I've recently started using them a little more instead of randomly charging in like the degenerate I am.
