Default Retreat Direction - advice needed
Posted: Mon Mar 26, 2012 11:50 am
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...
