Guest Nerf Herder Posted November 18, 2001 Share Posted November 18, 2001 What formation and stance do you guys use? Do you use different formations and stance for different units? Right now I use a staggered formation and a defensive stance. The reason I use defensive is because I don't want to lose track (look around the map) of my units. Can you tell me the reasons why you use certain formation/stance and if you use them for certain units can you also explain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zygomaticus Posted November 18, 2001 Share Posted November 18, 2001 when i play i usually dont use formations i dont find them that effective if your opposition has a hundred men and u have 50 no formation can help u them i just seal off th entrance with sols and put them on aggressive stance and they attack as soon as they see an enemy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Influenza Posted November 18, 2001 Share Posted November 18, 2001 Is there a way to disable formations? Because I think they're utterly worthless, especially when your units decide to form up before retreating in battle....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Influenza I agree I havent got the full game yet but what you describe also happens in AOKTC, and sometimes you pay for it by getting half your forces wiped out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young David Posted November 18, 2001 Share Posted November 18, 2001 You're always using formations ... if only the standard formation. It keeps your troops together. With AOK:TC |I once made a siege formation with the rectangle: monks and a trebuchet in the middle. Tarkans and mounted archers surounding it. The spreading formation was always very useful if your enemy had a mangonel or the likes. And ofcourse ... the formation that divides your army in two groups is very usefull ... to split your army in two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
