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...
In battle I like to keep my speed up and ride by enemies (especially infantry) and swing down at them, usually killing them but sometimes I end up just bumping them with my horse or missing entirely.
What is the best weapon for this tactic?
Also is it advisable to use a 1-hand/2-hand weapon for this kind of fighting (note that I have only developed my 1-handed so if it requires 2-handed skill to use these I probably can't afford the weapon skill points between buffing my 1-hand and my bow and arrow).
