Re: The Art of Placement
Here's my mage-only battle formation. This is for when the enemy is using supercombatants or other mage-only armies in which normal units would die in seconds. |

Re: The Art of Placement
In reply to the American Football comparison with Rugby....
As a Linebacker in college and a Flanker in Rugby at the present I would like to submit this comparison I have heard before.
Soccer...A gentlemens sport played by Ruffians
Rugby....A Ruffians sport played by Gentlemen
American football...A Ruffians sport played by Ruffians
Having no foot skills of my own I can't answer for soccer, but after playing American Football for 12 years and Rugby for almost 30 years (sigh...yes I am that old), I prefer to play the Grand 'ol' hybrid game of THUGBY or "Hit to Kill" and run faster than the opponent!!

Hmm, I think cavalry flanking with 'attack rear' orders might cause some problems, unless the mages retreated quickly. |

Re: The Art of Placement
Well, as for the American football analogy, I can only say that if you are facing 300 pound monsters that have used steroids and hgh growth hormone for the last 10 to 15 years, I think I would want to have on as much pads/armor as possible.

Re: The Art of Placement
I don't know for how long rugby player will continue without protection : professional players have surprisingly enlarged those past years, and they are only getting bigger : must be what Darwin called natural evolution...

I think the grid is this size, please correct me if this is wrong.

The battlefield grid actually grows depending on the size of the attacking and defending army.
|
When does the battlefield grid grow? I've run in debug mode and it seems even with fairly large 500 unit battles the grid is still roughly 30X60. Debug mode gives the labeled grid coordinates on an x,y basis, btw. |
