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...
On original difficulty I'm finding it to be near impossible conquering archer heavy castles and cities without relying on cheesy strats such as lining up Rhodok Sharpshooters outside the walls and going AFK. I'd like to instead simply order my vassals towards certain goals but I'm not finding any options for it.
I have access to an army totaling around 3000 men by now but they're hardly useful since I'm unable to order them around.
Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
