It's part of the game. Literally.

AFAIK the retreat formation kicks in e.g. when a soldier retreats back into formation if he pushed too far ahead from his own unit which is set to guard mode.

Dang. I hoped that there was a retreat order that I just had somehow managed to miss. Oh well.

Neato. Here's thought: There's like a little victory animation that plays for about 1 second when soldiers take a city square or kill all the enemies in a siege battle.(most common occurence of the animation playing) Perhaps you could spice it up abit :).

What does the soldier do? I don't remember.

Stab with their weapons towards the sky. On the interface, the unit activity is listed as "celebrating". Soldiers with two-handed weapons are more passive in their celebration.

Oh you can manually specify that certain units must retreat with Ctrl+W/flag button.

But that's simply marching away. He's asking for a fighting-retreat button.

I suggest longer "celebrations". More roaring and cheering:D

Getic light cavalry is finished and integrated in the build. - JMRC

I gues we know for sure now which faction will be next previewed.

Anyways, I'm wondering if there is any chance the Batavians will be in as a unit perhaps?

[-Praetor-]

Not in the first release, that's for sure. In the next release perhaps, I dunno.

I think they just pump their arms in the air and look up.

And what else do you want them to do? Dance Samba?

Perhaps... Its your call if you want to put in an easter egg instead of an animation that you'd only see for 1 second.

Maybe you should look at some random Final Fantasy victory dances or something for inspiration.

I'd just be happy happy for a "fall back in formation" order, but alas they only know how to expose themselves to attack from the rear every time.
