AI Battle Formation Mods

[Uranos]

There is also another things - descr_formations_ai.txt is close related on export_descr_units.txt so while using Darth's, Sinuhet's and The_Mark's (EB) formations on mod X you may find Darth' and Sinuhet's a bit better, for EB those 3 are more or less comparable imo.

Edited 1st post in this thread. Download has been updated to accommodate a few changes.

---Changes to Sinuhet file.
Added the engage_at_will tag to all missile units in attack formation. ( infantry & cavalry ) . So now when the formation toggles in battle… It’ll look like this for missile units….

--Defend:
default_melee_state fire_at_will_and_defend_and_skirmish

--Attack/Defend: ( Approaching Formation)
default_melee_state fire_at_will_and_skirmish

Now the formation toggles for Attack..
default_melee_state fire_at_will_and_engage_at_will_and_skirmish.

I changed this because I believe this setting takes better advantage of a lot of the missile units in EB that double as let’s say pretty damn good light infantry and light cavalry. This tag was prevalent in an earlier version of Sinuhet Formations, i’ve just re-introduced it to this version. Made a few other various changes to this file as well.

--I have changed the movement modifiers for what I believe is a better feel for these formations.
-- Added Marcus Camillus Player Formations to the download.
-- New formation buttons for the user interface.

I feel dumb asking this but is it possible for someone to explain exactly what these formation mods do?

They simply provide alternatives to how the "AI" groups it's forces, moves with it's forces and subsequently attacks/defends with them.
