[Solution] - Right Click/Drag: Unit Auto-Run

[Taikutsu]

When you do the set up formation (right click > drag) with your mouse, you realize that your troops automatically run, [which did not happen in previous total war games]. It is annoying when using stealth units such as ninja, because it makes them unhidden. Plus, troops easily fatigue.

The easiest solution is:

1. Instead of "dragging", you may use the "advanced troops forward", and "Increase/Decrease file" buttons.

2. Click it, instead of dragging it.

3. Hold ALT while doing the drag. It makes them walk. But, instead of dragging side to side, the line starts are the center.

*face palm* hahaha right, that is where my FRAPS fps counter is, no wonder i couldnt see them!

Is there a list of slipery commands like the alt-drag trick somewhere? Again ive looked and not found much :/

Now that I'm playing multiplayer more than single-player, I kinda get why they made run the default.
What I'd find really useful is some kind of toggleable "try to stay hidden" button, next to skirmish mode and loose formation, which would make hidden units try not to leave the forests or run.

Serious question: Does multiplayer have buffed up fatigue stats compared to SP?

No it does not.
But there it's often more important to get into a good position first, so taking the risk of tiring your units may be worth it.

Brilliant on the alt and right click+drag.
