Default Re: Machaka-What are they?

I didn't get to play DomI, so I'm not sure if this was part of it...
Scripting: Each 'commander' can have 5 'squads'. Squads can be a mixture of units, so it's really 5 seperate 'lines' under the commander. Not only can each commander be assigned a script, but also each squad can be assigned one independently of the others. These are 'set' scripts you choose from a menu.

In the same screen, you can also choose independent 'starting' positions of commanders and squads, in relation to others, instead of just starting the battle as one 'mass' group.

Bear in mind, you adjust these settings prior to a battle...you have no control over the battle once it starts. If a script doesn't apply to the unit(s), it will fall back on it's 'default' setting. So if you set your unit(s) to attack enemy archers, and there are none, they'll find something else to beat on Of course, you're going to check on what you're fighting, right
