Beta Mod Release - Hold the Line: Infantry AI - No more moshpit

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 taken a lot of screen shots for fun while playing warband. Here are some of my favourites.

Two of the same lord in my castle Jarl Olaf was knocked unconscious If you ready your swing, the belligerent drunk gets chopped as soon as he tries to talk to you (actually works for anyone talking to you, but most you cannot hit immediately) Also works with crossbows I made my own pseudo-mod (just tweakmb stuff and minor troops.txt editing) for bigger battles and took some neat shots after battles I changed looters to have swadian footmen gear and to have massive parties. This is how I died one time. Anyone got some sick screen shots to share? :D Submitted July 20, 2017 at 07:14PM by CptnSAUS http://ift.tt/2vpaWvS
