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...
150 hours in and I just found out, on accident, that I can hold f1 and point where I want my troops to hold position.
All this time, I've been running around double tapping f1 trying to get my troops in position before the enemy gets to me. That is, if I don't just charge outnof the gate.
This completely changed the game for me and I feel like an idiot. Now, I just need to figure out how to set archers on top of walls without them just grouping up in a ball and running circles instead of lining up at the ledge and shooting invaders.
