Hi everyone !

Gonna need to incorporate party formations in the near future.

I'm running around with three guys at the moment (main and two side kicks) and it's already evident that this feature will be needed very soon.

When grouped as one they all try to claim the spot you move clicked at.Don't need anything fancy for starters,maybe just a V shaped pattern and or a follow leader command.

I can see body blocking opponents is gonna be of great value in tight places eg. doorways,small caves etc etc

Hi Temper,

When you're moving your party, do you highlight them all, then select them all to move together? I find it more convenient, and cool looking, to just order my other companions to 'bodyguard' my main character by selecting them, then right clicking and choosing the order from the menu, makes them stick close, but stay in a formation of some kind, like seen with caravans! I find this only really works properly when walking, though.

The blocking of choke points sounds like a great idea

Hi people !

@ Graeywulf : Uh doh ! I musta had a Homer simpson moment.I was only looking to the movement orders box in the lower right menu.


I'll do what you suggest next I play,thanks a lot mate !

@ everyone : You wil have to forgive me if I sometimes post questions that have obvious answers,as I mostly play with my four year old son on my lap or next to me and my brain sometimes stops functioning in a logical manner.
