    Icon4 Advisor talking me about Guard Mode => the mode already somewhere in the game ?

    Hi there.I was supprised to notice that my advisor started to talk about guard mode (units remain in formation ...) while the text advise is about Fire at Will.I'm French and I play a French localised version of the game.I'm uploading a video right now on Youtube and will posting it asap.Even if you don't understand a single word in French, you will understand some of this (guard, formation, unit ...)So CA removed the feature but still dubbed audio for advisor, at least in French ... Is the guard mode code still there or they removed it and forgot to remove the audio advisor about it ?

    Merci!

    Guard mode is so badly needed it's untrue.

    I've noticed with Roman and hellenistic units at least, if you order the unit to attack by using a single-click they make an effort to stay in formation and shift about like in guard mode. If you double click then they break formation.

    Try it out

    Well basically, advisor says:
    "Guard mode makes sure that units fight in a defensive stance, try to stay in formation while attacked and won't run after routing enemies. The mode can be activated or deactivated by selecting a unit and clicking on Guard button"

    Yikes, this pretty much confirms that the game was rushed for release.

    True, but if the developers couldn't even put something as simple as guard mode into the game it makes me think this game was EXTREMELY rushed. We truly did pay 60$ for a beta version .....

    In the pre-release gameplay video of Teutoburg forest, units also have a "loose formation" button like in previous titles.
    I think both Guard Mode and Loose Formation are very important.

    I just can't understand CA's intellectual process justifying removal of guard mod and loose-tight formations.

    Yes this is true, but then agian it has allways been like this with Total war games, Empire total war and especially Medival total war 2 was really realy buggy even worse then this on release.
    Shogun 2 was preaty buggless on release compared to this but that had to do allot with the realitivly small scale of shogun 2 comapred to rome 2

    It's a huge pain to see your units running after a routed enemy when you're defending a stupid flag. :p

    Really? I thought whenever an enemy unit was routed your units would begin cheering and celebrating, instead of chasing the fleeing men.

    Really this game was TOTALLY rushed out. It seems less than half of the game was actually completed.

    Darn you SEGA, surely you are responsible for this. If not, CA is then.

    I Think he's referring to ctrl+g. You press these two buttons when positioning troops, it then locks them in position a little padlock appears in the unit card window.

    My units never run after a routed unit, instead they cheer and do nothing.
