I did a quick google search and it still seems like the answer is yes but I want to make absolutely sure of it and if there is anything to up the odds on it happening? I have 3 kids coming of age soon and already conquered the map so it’s honestly the last thing on my list except some stealth stuff for fun. submitted by /u/ReaperKnight55 [link] [comments]
Formations in bannerlord have been something I was very interested in, and I haven’t seen anyone actually show them off.
It’s bit as simple as Warband was. No longer can you get by with just “HEAR ME! STAND CLOSER!” anymore. There’s counter play to everything, and certain formations are good at some things but not good at others.
So, after I got a beta key last Thursday I thought I’d take the time to demonstrate them and how they look.
And, one round of Captain Mode (and angry team!!!) later here’s all the formations for people to see, as well as some description of what they do.
LINE: The basic formation, and what your troops start in. A loose double rank formation, good when on the move, but not really a formation you want when in combat. Allows the quick adoption of Shield-Wall or Loose formations.
SHIELD-WALL: The formation for infantry on infantry combat. Troops will close ranks and form either a single or double rank (depending on unit size) which protects them from enemy archers and allows them to hold enemy infantry formations in place. Troops will hold the wall, and won’t turn to engage smaller groups of enemies behind them. The line is too thin to stop cavalry charges, even with spears.
LOOSE: Good for archer or skirmisher units when fighting other archers or skirmishers. Troops will spread out into a single rank to minimize their chances of being hit by enemy projectiles. Not good against infantry or cavalry formations.
CIRCLE: An infantry or archer formation for dealing with enemy Archer Cavalry. Troops will form a one, or two rank (depending on unit size) circle, allowing them to cover all directions of attack and defend against enemy projectiles. It is not good against enemy infantry formations.
SQAURE: An infantry formation for dealing with enemy cavalry. Troops will form a square to cover every angle of attack. Good for use with pike and spear formations. Not good against infantry or archers.
SKEIN: A primarily cavalry formation. Troops will arrange themselves into a “V” shape to maximize charge impact. Good for breaking up enemy infantry formations. Takes time to form and re-form.
COLUMN: An infantry and archer formation combining rapid mobility and the quick ability to form Square. Troops will form two or three rows (depending on unit numbers) Good for moving with pike or spearmen when the potential to encounter enemy cavalry is high.
And that’s the formations in Bannerlord’s Beta! I hope you found the information helpful and the images enjoyable!
As a final image, here’s a unit of Aserai spear and shield infantry bracing for an enemy charge!
