How do you make them attack each other from a distance? I would like the enemy to charge at the player in a single line, and attack when they get close. But even using patrol they take a while to react to your troops.
What methods would you use?

Hmm, no dat editing solution I presume? Cutscene? Would be much easier then. I would patrol them, then use an objects in area trigger. Set it to a good amount, so most of the soldiers are where you want. Then Stop the patrol (ie change ownership) and they will just charge in automatically no? An alternative to patrol that is very trigger intensive: 1. Line your troops up with 1 per tile, then make as many rows of this as you need. 2. Create a task trigger for each unit in the first line to a square in a straight path some distance away. 3. Task the soldier in the line behind to his counterpart in the one in front. 4. Continue for all rows. 5. When your army reaches the point you want a charge, just task areas of them to attack enemies. This will cause them to 'break ranks' so to speak.

Absolutely not. *makes sign of the cross* Not what I'm looking for. I seek the hard way. This is a good solution. It's complicated somewhat because I don't know where the player will put his men exactly, but it can be done. Thanks.

By the by, I think I've discovered why so few of the Marko Crnigoj immitations are any good, they're really really hard to get right.

You're right Julius, it's complicated. I really wanted something like this a while ago, but in the end changed plans as I found the implementation very difficult. Unfortunately I can't really offer any other ideas for this at the moment, but when you get it working you'll be a hero in my eyes.

You' re designing a new Barry Lyndon I presume ? Good luck then, I cannot find another idea than that one of Matty to help here. But it will take ages to do that...

I've already finished that part actually. I'm sure I'll get there eventually. I hope your hero workship is worth it. I have another question. I would like to reset the player's kill count to zero. However, tributing away kills with AoKTS doesn't seem to work.
