I really like this game so far. Im impressed with the ability to customize to fit player style, and the AI is just super.
It takes a different mindset to play the game as a commander: Formulating a battle plan , sending off couriers , watching and waiting as it all comes together- or NOT! Looking for openings in the line, sending in a reserve to reinforce a flank, deciphering my subordinate's motivations, watching and waiting as it all comes together- or NOT! . It tough to let go, but I'm digging it.
I finished the tutorials and working through scenarios. I adjusted My HITS range to "2" and I made a lot changes and addition to the keyboard.csv , since I prefer keyboard over mouse where possible.
question :
Re: Calvary scouting. In "compose courier message" there is a order for
"Calvary to Scout in this Direction" then offers directions ...east, southeast,west etc . This doesn't seem to work for me. After I selecting the direction the calvary unit heads for the nearest road, then end up going in another, usually opposite direction then what i've selected. The Unit final destination is reversed according to the green box Unit destination icon on the map. I 'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong or somethings reversed.
It's not really a big deal because It works to order a calvary unit to scout toward a map point
