Did this ever get fixed?

My 11 year old son is now playing FoG2 Medieval and complained that his infantry units are auto-advancing all over the map - often in pursuit of cavalry ffs.

Can anything be done to rectify this ahistorical behavior?

Nothing has changed. 1. 4 years later and games still become a horrible mess as infantry units pursue other units (including, laughably, cavalry) across the map , with zero regard for any flank security. There's absolutely nothing the player can do about it, because this "foot pursuit" mad...

I really appreciate the developers presence here and the various suggestions on how to fix this. TLDR: There needs to be a lot more friction so these infantry units can't just slide past one another. I'm working on a replay of Raphia with screenshots to show just how insane the game gets in terms o...

I have no objection to the push-back mechanisms, precisely because they introduce some chaos into the game. FOG2 is a game, not a pure simulation. Because it is played on squares, it is impossible to keep the scaling for width and depth constantly valid for all game mechanisms, and sometimes things...

Cannae is a terrible example. I'm not talking about steadily pushing back the entire enemy center! What I am describing is relatively small, tactical subunits of several hundred infantry suddenly abandoning the rest of their entire army and going on a cavalry-like mad pursuit of a single enemy unit...

I find that FoG II does a very poor job of modeling ancient combat among foot units due to its frankly ridiculous "Push Back"/ automatic pursuit mechanic. While this system (somewhat) accurately depicts the free-wheeling nature of mounted combat (where soldiers fight as individuals), it do...

I agree that AT guns are vastly too vulnerable in the game. It's rather ridiculous to take out a gun so easily which is in an entrenched position. You simply cannot use the guns in a historically accurate way. Watching SMG-armed infantry take out an entrenched gun position with a single shot makes m...

In Windows 8.1, the sound stops (or, rather, it keeps playing clicking noises) after you come out of sleep/suspend mode. This is rather important for laptops and tablets - which are pretty much the acknowledged future of PC's. I'm using a Dell Venue 8 Pro and will see if it does the same thing on my...

Thanks so much! I think you'll find that most gamers today "instinctively" click the mmb when they want to rotate a map. Later, the reviewers can blather on about "Interface Improvements" and the like

Actually, it really is an improvement, isn't it?

Ah, I see what you mean. It runs beautifully on my little Dell Venue 8 Pro, so at least the code is optimized! I'll be buying it on iOS was well, so perhaps not a huge deal.

Undoubtedly a touch-friendly iOS version is already in the works, so why not eventually do a Win 8.1 Modern UI touch-friendly version as well? Windows 8.1 tablets are gaining popularity. I'm using one right now (Dell Venue 8 Pro) and it runs BA2 very well. It would be even better if it had a touch U...

It would be great if the middle mouse button could be used to rotate the screen as most games now do:

Middle mouse + Move mouse left/right = rotate view.

This is especially helpful when playing on a Windows tablet with a mouse. With this one change, there is no longer any need for your keyboard.

I launched the game on my iPad just now to continue my Blitzkrieg France campaign, but all my in-app campaigns are now gone. When I try to go to Blitzkrieg France, it asks my to purchase it in-app again. If I do this, won't I be charged another $10? I think the game may have been updated and that's ...

I reverted to the built-in Win7 driver and all is well. Very slow - but it works!

Just purchased the game, installed it on my Toshiba laptop with Intel integrated graphics, and all I get on startup is a blank screen with the music playing in the background. I'm running 1.3.3, using Win7 x64, latest Intel drivers. I've tried changing a few of the OpenGL parameters (but not every p...
