Spectator Mode

If you want to assign specific units to the AI, you can check out the AI General Mode.

The 2 mods are not compatible. You will have to choose one or the other.



First things first, all credit for this mod goes to Hambango[forums.totalwar.com] from TW forums who created this. I uploaded it here with his permission to publish and maintain it.




So, this mod adds a Spectator Mode for the times you feel that you've had enough with micro-managing your army and just want to lay back and watch the carnage unfold.

A litlle showcase can be found here.


How it works

Well, it's simpler than you might think. All you have to do is hit Shift + F9 at the same time on the deployment phase or during the battle. This triggers a pop-up window showing the advisor. You can now toggle between the following modes by pressing Shift + F9:

The AI fully controls your army (shortcut: Shift + F10)
You only control your Lord, while the AI controls the rest of your army (shortcut: Shift + F11)
You control your army, while the AI takes over the reinforcements and summoned units (shortcut: Shift + F12)
You fully control all your armies (shortcut: assign a key to "Save Camera Bookmark 5")

Useful when your units get stuck in an audio loop. To use this function you must first assign a key to "Save Camera Bookmark 6"



Things to notice

- The hotkeys (Shift + F9/F10/F11/F12) replace the bookmark locations 1-4 in keybindings section. You can change them freely though. For more explanation on the controls, please refer to this thread.

- Spectator Mode works both in Campaign and Custom battles. It does not work in quest and intro battles.
