Default Re: Small suggestions for the next patch

Those are all good but some hints for now...

Most peoples problem with rearmost is that they arent looking at the battlefield thru the eyes of the units. You can improve rearmost by giving your units a clearer view of the battlefield. Far flanking positions, hold commands to allow most of the battle to move past them, then attack rearmost. Attacking archers for one round and then attacking rearmost can work well also.

You can also improve picking up items by having more commanders with empty slots be nearby when their commanders die. Having all of your commanders on "stay at rear" or loaded with items doesnt get you much. Also increasing luck by scales or items might help altho I havent tested that.

Friendly fire can also be helped by taking on the view of the units. Positioning shooters to the flanks helps, or where they can do long arching shots such as at enemy archers.
