Unit Formations...

[Ketchup]

Hi,

I'm trying to achieve the affect of a rabble going into battle but have had little success so far...

I first tried using "horde" formation instead of "square" but it seems that that is not useable with formations (like schiltrom etc). Also it is a perfect circle which looks kind of wierd. Next I fiddled with unit spacings but they still all line up in exact rows, just a little further apart. So my question: Is there a way to achieve a proper rabble-like effect?

Thanks

Try putting stat_mental to low, this part refers to discipline and how tidy a unit keeps its formation.

I thought it was the level of training (untrained, trained, highly_trained) that affects how tidy the formation is, does the discipline affect it as well? I thought discipline was tied into morale.

My mistake redxavier, you are correct as per the EDU header.

Have a look at one the peasant's entries, that should give an idea.
