Re: Using formation in battle
Hullo,
You can pick the smiley when you post, tis a feature.
The formations... You mean when setting up your entire army or per unit ?
I dont use the pre-defined formations, I just drag every unit to the place I want it to be. As for the unit-formations, (lose, wedge,close) they depend on the situation, as can be read in the manual.

Re: Using formation in battle
Nope, none of them you mentioned ;)
Keys are assigned 1-9 and it is a way how you can set up 2 or more units groupped together.
You can click on an icon on the right side of the tactical screen and it brings up a new set of icons: "double line" "sorted double line" "cavalry first" etc. that can be triggered by the number keys, but only if more than 1 units are selected.
If I still couldn't express myself clearly I will post a screenie

Re: Using formation in battle
On the tactical screen if you press ctrl + p you get a "group formation" menu. There are formations 1-9
You click on this:
Then you get these icon that represent formations 1-9
An example for "foot first 3 line"
The question is: do you use it? If yes are there a really good way of using them? And I am especially curious about multiplayer since there is no pause so every second you gain can be battle winning...
Thanks!

Re: Using formation in battle
I use formations to approach enemy formations. I go with the 3 line missle, melee, cavalry. I use this to give my archers a clear field of fire and keeps my melee units out of enemy range. Once I get to my preselected stopping point I bring my calvary units to the wings and begin to circle. If my opponent charges my archers have a nice wall of melee units to retreat behind.
Obviously this plan is very basic and changes with the make up of my forces. Hope it helps.
