Help me with combat orders, please

[Jader]

Can somebody give me a good explain of battle orders for troops? Is there possible to cast one spell and then engage in combat? My commanders used to cast spells all the time or none.

There is a command called "Cast a Specific Spell" or "Hold or Cast Spell" that if you select it once it will allow you eo choose a spell, or have it cast one at random, then you can choose another order from the top selection (Including Attack Once) or a Behavior (the bottom one) incluind Attack (type).

Ahhh orders can be queued! This changes everything

[liga]

yes, but I think only for commanders it will be great to just order your archer to fire 3 rounds of arrows and the retreat ... but as far as i know that is not possible

[Daynarr]

That is why you have fire and retreat order for archers. They fire for 3 rounds then run.

Commanders get more stackability than troops. With a command you can stack 5 specific orders (from the top group of instructions) and then a general one (bottom group).

For some things you want to do with troops you can attach them to a commander. Such as, if you want troops to wait around for a blessing before attacking then have a commander hold-one, then attack. Have the troops assigned to "guard commmander" so they will wait for him then go.
