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've begun noticing this behavior recently where a battle seems to be taking forever to finish - but when you check, there are only a few enemy troops left who just won't die. I ride up and see a mass of my troops surrounding them but seemingly just interfering with each other so badly that the enemy is untouched. I have to recall my troops somewhere else in the battlefield and then charge them back in - or just go kill the remaining four infantry that my troops can't manage to defeat.
Is this a known problem? I've been playing this game for years and it's the first time it's been such a pain in the butt.
