View Full Version : Bug? Control of units used in battle

In the original, I was always able to control the units that would attack in battle by dropping them on the enemy province in the correct order. That was nice because I could send a ridiculous mass of guys in there and hopefully scare the enemy off. Then, if he didn't run like a dog, I'd be able to use my best units.

Last night, I was attacking a Hojo with my Mongols and regardless of what order I dropped them in, it always took the WORST units first. I had a full army (16 armies) consisting of MHC, MLC, Skirm, and Guardsmen -- then I threw a large army of stupid spearmen on top of it, and I didn't get a single MHC unit in my resulting army. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif

Anyone else seen this?

Yes. I noticed that as I dropped in two armys my second army did the fighting but my first general got the credit. He seemed to leave his army and fight with the other one. Not good if your reserves, which become the first wave are lousy units.
