Group Formations Not Working As Video Describes. . .

EDIT: Nervermind, the video says to "right-click". . . but the patch notes (which I just re-read) specify a "CTRL-Right-click". Holding down CTRL was the missing piece of my puzzle. Thanks!

Hi All,

First, I'm incredibly excited about this game. It already looks great.

A quick question though. . .

According to the youtube video

(1:00 to 1:15), I should be able to assign a formation to a selected group by CTRL-clicking various units, and then right clicking on the proposed destination (and then dragging the mouse to set orientation).

When I select the units, and then right-click, there is no apparent effect and then if I drag, it just moves the map per usual (right-clicking and dragging usually does move the map).

Am I missing something fundamental?

Thanks!

Hi,

 

I'm pretty sure you need your final click to be a CTL-right-click on the spot you choose, not a simple right-click.  I think that worked for me.

Yes the correct procedure is Ctrl+Right click. Thank you for reporting. The corrected video will be uploaded asap.

What I would like to see is a Total War-style capability wherein during pause mode I can specify a final location and orientation for each unit. I would like to see each of the planned locations highlighted on the map (not just the arrow, but the deployment as well) in pause mode so that I can ensure that I am creating a line with no gaps.

 

This would greatly reduce the clickfest effect, I believe.

Also rendering units like total games when you send them somewhere i think you hold spacebar and it renders little green or red units showing where they are going to go.

Ah, CTRL!  This makes things a little more interesting!  It would be nice if we could choose a formation, like maybe skirmishers and cavalry on the flanks, etc.
