Hi there,
This is my first post in the Entrance Hall. I've been confused by something for awhile now but I keep forgetting to ask, and well, today is your lucky day because I actually remembered
Playing VI with the patch. When I go into a battle, and get to the pre-battle screen where you can organize your reinforcements, sometimes the system of command seems a little messed up. As I understand it, regardless of command stars, your king is supposed to command on the field of battle, always, without exception. But sometimes something different happens.
Say I have a king with 2 stars and another general with 5 stars, both in the starting lineup. I get to the pre-battle screen. At first, the king's portrait appears as the commanding general. I hit the down arrow to display my reinforcements. The portrait gets covered by my starting lineup. I fiddle around with my reinforcements. I hit the up arrow and the 2nd screen of reinforcements disappeared, and the portrait reappears.... only it's not a portrait of my king, but of the 5 star general. Now he's commanding and my king is some undistinguished unit of royal knights, only recognizable by the fact that he has 21 men in his unit. If I'm fighting a battle with lots of royal knights, with similar valor and armor upgrades, there is virtually no way to tell who the king is once they start to take losses.
I have figured out that the king will take over as long as you move the 5-star general out of the starting pool and into the reinforcement pool... but sometimes for obvious reasons I want my best men out front.
This may have been discussed before, but does anyone have any thoughts on this? I don't suppose there's some way to fix this...
Well anyway just some food for thought, and maybe this will help someone who doesn't know how to keep their king in command -- just banish that high-ranking general to the reinforcement pool
