I appreciate your effort to fix the mess troop assignment is yet this mod is creating even more mess especially with skirmisher troops and heavy infantry with ranged weapons.
Only used this mod for a couple of hours and I already love it! Can't wait to really customize it to my liking and learn the more sophisticated key commands. Thanks so much!
Not working well in 1.2.x, i got error popup when pressing the key, the game does not crash anyway, you can close the popup but the formation is not sorted. Please update it when you have time, this is a must have really, without it formations are a mess to manage.
Tired using the mod to fix the mess that the game makes when you join ongoing battles, but while troops were sorted, no captains were assigned, expect for myself on infantry formation 1, while I'm cavalry. Tested by helping a village being raided. All settings default, except I have 2 cavalry in formation 3 and 5 since I don't have skirmishers. Any ideas how to fix this?
I actually just added support for automatic captain assignment/sorting in v3.1.0; just make sure the Companions formation is set to Default (it is by default) and the option is ticked (it is by default).
Hey, thank you for adding this! Much appreciated. So the captain is automaticly assigned based on their skills?
Let's say I play as Sturgia and I have a few soldiers for a shield wall and a few linebreakers, my companion/captain have a higher 2H skill thank 1H, will that automaticly put them as captain of the linebreakers?
For now it actually just prioritizes captains exactly how vanilla does it, which is just based on their "power", which seems to be based on level basically. Trying to take into account the skills might be a bit too difficult, because there aren't really set 1H or 2H formations nor is there a shield skill, and trying to take into account all individual perks is likely a massive pain in the ass.
Keep in mind as well that companions are set to captaincy over the formation classes that they themselves classify, so take the horses off of your 1H/2H infantry guys and make sure they don't have bows, and they should be set as captains of your infantry with the sort order.
During initial combat setup I can set a group to be "Cavalry only" and then put a captain on that group. Would it be possible for the mod to notice that Captain Alice is captain of the Cavalry during setup and then when sorting happens Captain Alice always ends up captain of the cavalry, while Captain Bob will end up as captain of some other group even if Alice has a bow and Bob has a lance?
