Default Retreat Direction - advice needed

Post by FlannSinna »

Folks - I recently designed a scenario to play online here called 'Caesar in Gaul'

- basically it involves Caesar with two Legions + skirmishers etc attacking across a river and capturing a Gallic Hill Fort

I have played it a couple of times with online opponents and it played well with both sides in with a chance

However the way I laid out the the armies was with an East - West axis but when a unit Routs they either go North or South by default

That is they are routing across the path of others units and not off the battlefield per se

I notice that there is a feature in set up for each unit called a 'Default Retreat Direction' & that is set at 0 by default

So my question is can I change that setting so that the units retreat either East or West

- & if so what numeral should I pick?

Thanks in advance for any advice...

The answer is "no" at the moment, I'm afraid. The "default retreat direction" facility is broken and we have been asking for over a year for it to be fixed. :(

I had the same problem with the retreat direction of units in my version(s) of Crecy. Units would "retreat" towards active enemy units!
