Friendly AI Reinforcements

**Gothic Revenge** · October 29, 2007, 10:07 AM

I have to say, I loved the idea of the new reinforcement controll system (agrressive,defensive,shooting) integrated into the game!

But......

Unfo even though it is a nice idea, I have to say it was rather disappointing on finding out that it really doesn't work correctly. Sometimes the AI does completly incredible moves (Ok. That was known before!), marches in slow on my side of the siege battle to go through my openings instead of his own and getting completly shot to peaces while doing so. etc.... or even sometimes any stances don't do anything no matter what you order them to do, they just sit there and watch.....

Is it just me, or has this happened to anybody else before???
Like to hear your experiences or tricks on how to use them efficiently!

I believe you select them and click where you want them to go or attack.

I just wish you could control the speed...a lot of times they'll sprint across the map and be exhausted when they reach you.

You can, single right click whilst having the reinforcement army card selected and they'll walk to qwhere you clicked, double click for run.

Ah...I must've been accidentally double clicking.

Suddenly appreciating the reinforcement control moreso now.

my reinforcing general ALWAYs charges in before his army and get himself killed..

the enemy doesn't do that. ... Darth mod/ didn't help that.

The Reinforcement general doesn't take note of the fact you have planted stakes, especially when you hurriedly click him to fall behind your main line as he rushes forward to make a name for himself

but after saying that I have seen some very well co-ordinated attacks from him aswell, I wonder if the generals experience has anything to do with how the reinforcements operate on the battle field??:hmmm:

So basically, you can order the main stance and you can order the units to move where you want them to? Can you also order them to attack enemy units in the same way as you do with your own army?

**Lusted** · October 30, 2007, 11:39 AM

Yup, if you have the reinforcement army card selected, you can click on an enemy unit to have your reinforcements attack it.

Can you control a single unit of the reinforcement, or just entire army as a whole?

**Lusted** · October 31, 2007, 04:10 AM

Entire army.

since I don't have kingdoms, I'm just wondering, can you change the formation of the reinforcement army? like choosing double line, or deploy them somehow in the formation you want?

No. You can order them to a certain location on the battle map and you can order them to attack an enemy unit.
