Silvarius -> Advance/Defend stance (1/26/2001 5:37:00 PM)
|
Hello,
I'm trying to play with "command & control" on and as far as I've tested it, I've found the system of objectives very interesting, but I haven't found yet the usefulness of the "Advance/Defend" stances.
When in a "defend" or "delay" battle, all your troops are in a default defend stance. What is the advantage of this stance ? I only experienced problems as these troops are then very difficult to move. I would have thought that a group that is outnumbered 1 to 10 and on the verge of being wiped out would eagerly obey a "fall back" order ! but no, they prefer dying on the spot rather than heeding an order that would have save their life !

So, I suspect there MUST be an advantage to choose the defend stance, but this is still to be found ! For the moment, I systematically put all my units in an advance stance in the deployment phase.
Silvarius.
