Vices and Virtues in RTW

[EuroLord]

Hi all,

On the campaign game in MTW, I regulary use units to launch decoy attacks into enemy provinces in order to prevent them from re-inforcing the province I am actually going to attack.

However, I have noticed that the general in command of the unit which I use to launch the decoy attack always gets allocated the "vice" of indecisive commander.

It would be good to see if RTW could include some way of recognising this deliberate tactic and prevent the unit commander getting a bad "vice" for what is a valid and very useful tactic.

Before I realised what was happening I had used one of my best generals to launch a decoy attack only to find he had acquired this "vice"

What do you all think of this or has it been discussed before.

Good idea, and it coule work here becasue the battle mpa is the campagin map. The thing in MTW was ur sending ur troops into their territory, thats war. Decoy's would start to mass right near the border but not over, making the other side nervous, thus moving noone away but not attacking, in RTW this seems possible.

Hi,

Good point you raised there. With no borders etc, it could work.

thanks for the reply.

thats pretty good idea about no borders as most european tribes didnt had national borders than but what about the demarcation lines between greek kingdoms and persian empire??

I would be satisfied with the historic,real situation: a subject of "discusion" http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/angry.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif

Please please please make vices and virtues more accessible in MTW it is a real pain to manually track these incideous little terrors http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/dizzy.gif

I will be most pleased to see more logic with asigning V&Vs, as it was stated by CA in the FAQ. The more senstive the system is to the situation, the better it's going to be, IMHO.

I hope to be able to loose them to an extent like I said awhile back. Say you flee ur first ever battle with a 0 star general and he gets the coward vice. Now he is a 7 star and hasnt lost a battle since, he should get renewed spirt or something and it could read "in his early dies he was young and irragant and had trouble leading an army but now he has great command and skill +5 moral and +5 loyalty."

or something.
