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...
And I am so up for it lol! I just picked this up and am giving it a try for the first time. I'm in love with the combat mechanics, having to take into account the direction of my attack, drop-off of ranged attacks, aiming being worse on horseback, I hadn't anticipated how realistic the physics would be (I went into it blind).
The only downside for me is having to tilt the camera to aim my attacks makes me motion sick after a bit, but I did find the melee lock-on command so I'm hoping that'll help.
Looking forward to diving into this one more! To be clear, I'm not being sarcastic, I'm genuinely into this :D
