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...

You can see in the post battle screen that it's about 1300ish vs my 200ish and the battle only lasted 6 minutes. But they had 2100 troops to my 260, so I think I won the battle with 800 of their troops not even entering the battlefield. I basically spent the entire 6 minute battle delaying the battering ram from getting to our gate. Meanwhile my archers shot them to death. I've never had a siege defense end this quickly, especially when the enemy army has over 2000 troops. [link] [comments] |
