Using the F1 key

[Tony Furze]

I ve just "discovered "this key during battle-it has a lot of interesting info but is there a way to use the information?

yeah to use it you just weigh up how good each individual units attack values are so you know what to charge into the enemy with, find the biggest defence valua and use that if you need to defend a key choke point (castle gate bridge etc) morale for knowing the uber unit aint gonna break and run on impact , armour so you know which to use to bait the archers fire so they run out of ammo ,

theres a lot of useful infomation on that screen and when you know how to interpret it it can be a battle winner

it's a pity there isn't soemthing that shows similar info on the enemy units, or a running version of the end of battle summary so you can see which unit's a kicking arse and which ones are losing their matchups.

The most useful thing I've found about F1 is the morale readout. Knowing the morale status of your units can be battle breaking.

I realize it's not really what you're wishing for, but you may be interested in knowing (if you don't already) that if you save a battle and then replay it later on, you'll be able to view the enemy's units from their commander's perspective. In other words, you'll be able to view each enemy unit's morale and current tactical situation just like you would your own.

Also, the stats result is also saved in a file.
