[Cross-Clan EU Unit] The Cult of Mithras - Wednesdays at 18.30 UTC?

[BattalGazi]

Tbh, we need to talk about which one was more effective in the EU test last night; the formation or personal skills. I was the red tunic guy and happened to be the commander of one team until the merge with Tristan. So I had the chance to observe the teams on how they practiced the trained stuff. I saw that column and line formations seemed to be working when practiced in suitable occasions. However, I couldn't see the "shielder-protecting-2h" thing in general. That was what made me rethink about comparison of group sense over personal skills. Maybe we can talk a bit more about this thing in the next trainings, because I believe that succeeding to keep the group sense even in the smallest formations could be the key to many varying tactical moves, such as attacking scattered enemy lines or so.

[Tristan]

I agree. We need the 2-man teams to work better together and stay together at all times. They are the most important part.

[Tristan]

up.

[Tomas_of_Miles]

I think you'd better take me off the list for this, as I'm increasingly having less time due to uni, and I'm also less interested in cRPG on the whole nowadays.

[BattalGazi]

When will the menu for this week's training be published?

[Tristan]

I intend for us to do the same as last. More training with partners and squad vs. squad. We need to be better to fight togehter, so we move "above" just herding, and actually working together. It might not work to begin with, but that is why we practise.

[Tristan]

Even with Strat launched we meet on Wednesday (Tomorrow). Same time, same place.

C ya.

[BattalGazi]

Good to hear that

Ok, remind me on irc 15 min before if the server is not up by then. I should also be able to attend the training this time.

[kinngrimm]

one more thing, we talked about several commands now, could you include these on the first page

roughly like

commands to take types of Formations:
- standard formation(double line formation of pairs, facing enemy directly, commaders with pike in back to protect against cav)
- half circle (flanc of the formation facing left and right ranged and cav)
- circle
- column

movement commands:
- advance(shields up, pressed forward button)
- half speed(shields up, 1 tab, 1 tap on forward button)
- full speed(shields down, pressed forward button)
- alpha take right flanc (agi build on outer site of the flancs, str build in center, the str shielder should be paired with the 2h chrushtrough guys as shocktrooper combo, the agi shielder on the flanc paired with either pikemen for more cav protection there or fast 2h)
- beta take left flanc
second line spread out(those who are paired with the guys in front of them)
spread out (all are taking individualy target, while staying together with their pairs)


alerts:
cav inc [direction] (get your polearms out)
inf inc [direction] (switch to 1h/shield, ...)
ranged inc [direction] (shields up and pairs get behind your designated shielder, who can cover you)


we should really describe clearly and in length every formation, so new folks who were not at the trainings yet get an image of it. I know the names we choose so far are more or less self explanatory, but we also noticed that at first it took us a little while to get into this. So please get even into more length if you feel it is unclear or needs more to be described as i already did there.

[Tristan]

Very nice training. It's getting better and better every time. Always hard to stay organized on the pub servers, but this training was really helpful for a lot of information regarding fomrations

[BattalGazi]

Hail half circle backward maneuver !
