RTW patch suggestions

regarding this control issue I would also like to add that in RTW when we did group our units they showed on the bars in the order they where on the map, now in RTW they group in blocks? this bugs me, it's more organised putting the groups in the same order the army resides on the map. Hope this is sorted out too.

Did a search on this page for the word "pathfinding" and didn't turn up anything.

Whenever I'm in sieges, it seems the pathfinding aint that good at times. Sometimes, my units will go outside the city gate and in again when I order them to move a block down the road for instance. Or take a whole different route than the one I believed they would take.

Sp00n, I know about the alt control in the previous games. Isn't this control feature now assigned to ctrl?

And yes I agree the gouping BUGs need to fixed just like the other bugs.

ctrl to do what?

When I use Ctrl + right click, the units selected move, keeping formation just like using Alt in MTW. I don't use that function much so I could be wrong, but I think it is the same behavior. It is buggy with grouped units though like some of the other controls, but if the units aren't grouped it works well.

Alt left click in MTW meant the formation would keep its original facing when it had reached its destination. AFAIK there is no such command in RTW. Alt right click does work but only for one unit. For a group its suddenly used for turning.

Ahhh yes I think I remember now.

Funny: I always thought that that feature in MTW should keep the formation but turn the entire formation facing in the direction you move them, which is now in RTW. Perhaps that is the way the dev team thought of it too?

Who knows.

I do like the new controls though (minus the bugs).
