cant set formations/set unit direction to face.

[Matenkai]

Just reinstalled the game to try the new dlc. No mods turned on and im getting a problem like im quick right clicking to move a unit and when i try to set formation and way to face the unit is placed where my last right click was and is default position and direction. Any help would be nice :)

Have you held the right mouse button down and moved the mouse to rotate the unit? This is possible in all TW games I think.

when you select a unit point your mouse to where you would like them to generally be and then HOLD right click and drag. Depending on the direction they will change the direction they face.

EG:

left Click selecting a melee group (or multiple!) of say shielded swordmen and then point to an area and hold right click and drag from LEFT TO RIGHT in a horizontal line and you see a bunch of little yellow triangles that will be pointing (in this particular case) north. If however you did the same however dragged from RIGHT TO LEFT the triangles would then be facing south instead.

Obviously this applies spatially, so if you had a line being setup vertically, then top to bottom would = left to right and thus face east, while dragging from bottom to top would have them face the west as the south equivalent rotated 90 degrees.

You can do this during the deployment phase of the game, so I highly recommend you mess around with your formations at that point just to get used to the feel and to get your head around the general idea of orientating your troops.

During battle you can do this on the fly, like changing archer divisions to point sideways to lay the hurt down on flanking cavalry that are still getting into position.

Hope this helps you :)

sorry if i am not being clear but when i hold right click to set the direction, location and formation of a squad as soon as i let go of right click they just got where my mouse is and in the same direction and formation as it spawned as when you first load the battle.

Found the problem seem that logitech software and total war dont mix well.
