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...

Did a story ran playthrough and was really fun! Centers around Mericor dey Corvand, a noble from House dey Corvand, originally descended from Osric Iron Arm as a “bastard son” familial line. However, Baldrim dey Corvand found out the true secret that the REAL bastard family line was none other than House dey Meroc, it turns out in order to succeed to the throne, Derthert’s grandfather killed Mericor’s great grandfather after Osric died in battle, he later swayed the scheme to say that Mericors great grandfather tried to attack him, so he acted in self defense. Anyways the family line stayed but was outcasted and their lands removed. Once Baldrim found out, he and his wife were killed by assassins. His dying words were to tell Mericor the tale and hand him Osric Iron Arms sword, Ironfang (it was hidden along with the information, Baldrim stole it from the coffers of Sargot to prove his claim.) Mericor was furious, depressed, and blood lusted. He later raised enough money from mercenary work to finally call out Derthert as the bastard he was, the war went on long but thankfully due to his charisma, money saved up from mercenary work, and perhaps his pure terror on the battlefield, he was able to unite Vlandia under a new name, Swadia. There he will rule until his dying days, Mericor will be known throughout Calradia, as the Crimson Blade (not only for the cool sounding name, but because of all the peasant blood that he spilled, along with Derthert’s) [link] [comments] |
