Regiment Ai lines crossing each Other?

[Cleaburn]

Hey, The regimental lines seem to criss cross each other in battle is this a common issue?:whistle:

I wouldn't say it's a common issue, but it does happen. Norb coded a tile system that reduces this problem greatly (as it was very common in TC2M), but like everything else, it will never be 100% perfect. It can always be improved and I'm sure it will be in future releases.

I've actually received comments that some players do not like this enhancement. They want the lines to be able to cross more than they do now. We tried to reduce it greatly in an effort to make it less gamey and more realistic. But it's not perfect as LP stated.

I would like my game to be as real as possible with regiment deployments, I hope it will continue to be strifed for.... thanks

Technically, if the rgt is an entity (object) that wouldn't be possible but if it's just a non entity visualized by a sprite set I can't guess how this is going to be done.

In any case, I agree stacking should be totally impossible. Manouvering and speed of manouver is a critical issue in deployment and during the engagement. If you have to get a rgt in column to make it pass between 2 line rgts that takes skill so yes, I'd love for things to carry on this way as Cleaburn said.

Ok someone tell us is this going to be corrected or not I had a game last night where 3 union regiments that were on the attack were all stacked up on top of each other for a long time on a brigade vs brigade sandbox battle!

Didn't happen to get a saved game did you?

[Cleaburn]

Sorry but I did not....If it happens again I will save it!

[norb]

Thank you, maybe it can show me what's going wrong.

Well, I had another battle with lines criss-crossing again and with regiments facing the wrong way firing at nothing! Also when I set the take command, command units do not always comply, this is frustrating since that is the only way I like to play the game myself. The courier thing just does not interst me, I hope these issues are being looked into....
