'Move with facing' command combo.

[DVX BELLORVM]

DVX BELLORVM, in STW/MTW, alt-RightMouse caused the group to face to the spot you clicked on. That isn't the case in RTW/M2TW (IIRC, it moves to that spot and reforms with it's current facing).

Unfortunately, I've never played STW/MTW. In RTW, if you just right-click on a spot, the group faces towards that spot. With Alt-right click the group keeps its original facing. As far as I could see, the M2TW demo behaves in the same manner.

This has been an issue for some time. Alt/right click DOES work in RTW, even if you form groups with your army. Drag and drop also does the same thing and you can change the command or destination while they march without affecting unit deployment. Things go wrong when less than all is selected (EG 2 groups from a total of 4). The greatest loss was the left drag and right click to arrange units in equal depth as Lord of the Isles has mentioned

On the other hand the biggest gain was the split up between left-click = select, right click = command. But yeah that what you mentioned, Orda, really is something I am missing. But this miss does allow for using complex formations somewhat easier.

I also found that recovering from a battle was much faster now too, even in the case of badly hurt units when you can quickly ungroup, redraw lines, regroup.

No, RTW had more urgent other problems that ruined MP IMO than the difference in control.

I thought alt-click was for when you wanted your strelcy to charge the back of enemy line, seemed to do the trick for me at least
