What I've started doing is laying out a battle plan via shift-clicking while way up in the air. Then I go into locked general cam. If as a general I can see there's a big problem with the plan I laid out, then I pause, pop back up in the air, and redo the shift-click pathing.
Much smoother battles now. I personally don't like to pause very much, so the less I can do that the better.
I had one battle on Saturday where two 60-man cavalry units got slaughtered by spearmen because I had left them where they stood after taking care of some routers, and then forgot about them.
It makes me wish one could put ANY unit on skirmish if being attacked by a certain type of unit (i.e. all cav units can avoid spears, spears can avoid sword units, etc). That is probably something I will have to wait for the afterlife for, though![]()
