WAYPOINT

[n4mi]

for me this is the most important tool on any skirmish war games of all. and this game fails of such, though because of "pause start" feature, you can do same level of manipulation of the battle.. but doing such thing can be annoying for the likes of me looking for a more realistic strategist and warlord general.

i hope someone can do improvements on this one..

For me, it helps when I remove the Banners -- makes it look way cooler and makes it a little more difficult in some respects -- particularly because you have to be right up close on a unit to see if they're routing / fighting to the death, and you don't necessarily have as much awareness of your troops vs. enemy troops on the field.

Messing around with the EDU, you can do a lot of things to change the game to suit your preferrence... Higher defense skill/armor, and higher morale will make longer melees and sturdier troops. Editing the mount bonuses can make troops better against Cav, same with Spear Bonus .. using Janissary Heavy Infantry animation for Western 2 handers helps a lot too -- ie. Bill Men, Poleaxe Knights, etc.

I have never even bothered to use way points in battles. Are they spots one's troops stop for a cupa?

waypoint
-is game feature where you can synchronize your attack
-a queue for your movements for a more effective timing and lesser work

e.g

you want to use your general to flank your enemy. to do this you need to manipulate his movement in order avoid hindrances along the way..

EA= enemy archer
ET= enemy troops
YG= your general
YT= your troops

EA
ETETETETETETETETETETET


YTYTYTYTYTYTYTYTYTYYT
YG

you want to get the enemy archer but to do that you need to take a detour to avoid ET.. waypoint can queue your coordinates for your general to take

EA
ETETETETETETETETETETET

YG (coordinateA)

YTYTYTYTYTYTYTYTYTYYT



YG (coordinateB)

EA
ETETETETETETETETETETET
YTYTYTYTYTYTYTYTYTYYT ( as your army clashes the frontline)






YG (coordinateC) (enemy archers OWNED!)
EA
ETETETETETETETETETETET
YTYTYTYTYTYTYTYTYTYYT ( as your army clashes the frontline)


coordinates A B and C can be queue using waypoint so you wont have to focus on the movement of your general anymore.. all you need to do is wait for the perfect timing for you frontline to engage

you can use waypoint by pressing and hold shift but it's not possible for an attack..

Your able to attack while shift clicking with the way points, I do it all the time so I can forget about certain troops.

[Double A]

If you want them, then shift click. If you want to see where your dudes are going, hold down pause.

uhm ... it's the "space" key not the "pause" one , or were you referring to the fact that "pause" shows you the whole path the units are following ? in this case, I didn't know this, thanks

[Double A]

I meant space. They're nearly anagrams, so I guess I just had a brain fart.
