Formations

[Czrasai]

I thought formation's were included with 1.8, I am unable to use this feature, can anyone help me.

What do you mean? Of course there are formations included in the mod. Namely Darth`s formations. And I think that an optional with Sinuhet`s formations has been added as an optional.

I just had several battles and the formations button was greyed out.

You haven't selected groups of units. That's wh the formation buttons are greyed out. You need to select at least a couple of units the set up formations are avialable.

I've got it , Sinuhet's formations are for the AI.

[florin80]

Yes, but Darth has both files. Meaning both the formations for the AI and for the human player. If you install Sinuhet`s AI formations you won`t lose Darth`s player formations.

I noticed some modders here have a preference for Sinuhet's formations. re Sinuhet's formations better than Darth Mod's formations in some aspects?

I used to be quite the champion of Darth's AI formations, but from playing using Sinuhet's AI formations, I feel his are better in that the AI seems in my opinion to perform better in battles.

For the player formations, I prefer my own player formations mod.

I agree. Is RTRPE using your formations mod?

No, its not directly in RTRPE, but I the most recent version is compatible with RTRPE. I check and update as necessary for each new version of RTRPE.

Can I register a note of irritation at the Darth player formations?
The Hellenistic army settings creates strange formation depths, units stretched out to two deep if 80 strong or 3/4 deep if 120 strong.
Is there any way of fixing this, since I cannot figure out how to edit the file without visual references? (editing the descr_units is one thing, but this...)
I tend to deploy my Macedonians in a manner to defeat the AI, which tends to try to avoid the phalanx if they can.
Pk=Pikes, Pl=peltasts, Ar=Archers, TI=Thracians, Hy=Hypaspists
HC=Heavy Cavalry, LH=Light Horse

------Pk-Pk-Pk-Pk-PK
------Pl--Ar-Ar-Ar-Pl
------TI----------TI
------Hy----------Hy--LH
-LH HC-------------HC HC HC

Not suggesting to use this, but it would be nice if I could redeploy
the units with a little less fuss, it would be nice.

FWIW, Sinhuet's formations actually allow a clash of battle lines, so your phalanx won't always be ignored. It'll be in the next version of the ExRM.
