[Question] How do I setup my army so casters start in the back?

August 15, 2010 1:40:20 AM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

Is there any way to order your army so the casters and ranged units are in the back and my melee units are in the front when the combat starts?  I hate having to spend my first actions for my casters running away.

 

Thanks,

Sammual

I think it depends who joins the group first with the later additions moving to the back. This of course may change in the day 0 build.

I managed to put my heroes in the back by reforming my army but the Sovereign is always the first in the list no matter when I add him to the group.

It would be helpful to be able to control the order of the army when entering a tactical battle.   Of course there could obviously be options for "surprise attack" that would let them show up as they do now.

Yes some type of screen for position the units is important, otherwise a sovereign who travels the map will need to be more melee and less archer/mage.

Given that his screenshots he's been posting of the tactical battles seems to have actual formations involved in some way, I am hopeful (but hope should not be something to bank on) that this has been addressed in some manner.

 

But who knows until we get it?
