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...
In the missions for the nords, we can steer a fire ship into an enemy ship, but we cannot make our own fire ships in the actual sandbox? What a missed opportunity. So many insignificant pirate ships and trade ships that would have only been sold for the price of a few measly sacks of grain could be much more entertaining if we could blow them up if we were to have a surprise encounter with another enemy that outmatched us in manpower. A fireship would make things very interesting for the balance of power. submitted by /u/Salvificator-8311 [link] [comments]
