Pulling out works now!

**Ecthelion** · September 21, 2013, 01:29 AM

For the first time since the inception of the Warscape engine, the pull out method actually works now. Just tested this numerous time with fragile shock cavalry like Sarissa Cavalry. Against Triarii. You can hit them from the rear, do good damage, and then pull out again incurring few losses.

Unit's also seem to be more responsive to pulling out in general. They also don't get caught up once a few men get engaged with another unit.

I have a Thessalonian Cavalry unit blast past a Triarii trying to intercept them, literally ran over 5 or so a few Triarii before crashing into Hastati as they were ordered to do.

Unit cohesion is also much improved and the kill speed does seem a lot slower.

Good work Patch 3!

In regards to the title of this thread...
I tried to convince my wife of that but she is not buying it.

Edit: and this posting had no sexual connotations WHAT-SO-EVER.

Even if pulling out works, you need to pick the right time to do it. Not too soon, and not too late. And don´t forget, after pulling out, you should always ready for another thrust. Even the game tips say that repeatedly in and out is the way to go. Still, putting some protection on is a smart choice. Also, nothing sexual to be found here.

Pulling out is overpowered in game now. It works way better than it has historically.

Historically, needing to pull out in the first place was considered a disaster and was usually caused by another disaster.

I never just pull out, I take my time and wait. She prefers it that way.

Ever since I found this out, my in-game dynasty has stopped growing altogether.

... not that I have any way of knowing this, because CA removed the family tree for no reason.

Does pulling out work for the greek factions as well? I mean, it´s not like they would need it to prevent unwanted consequences. Entirely unrelated link: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...kColony_sm.jpg
