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...
I came across a Dothraki horde in an open field last night and I have to say they in no way live up to the meme. Essos in general isn't as clearly fleshed out in the books or show compared to Westeros, but the Dothraki have a clear and established reputation as a threat, they should feel like one in this mod too. I don't think anything drastic needs to be done, but I feel like giving them a shield, light armor, or even allowing the arakh to block would go a long way for them.
Anyways just wanted to gripe about that. Props to Produno for the mod and keeping it updated.
