Caed Nua Defense - Manual Resolve - Initial Formation?

[Yahku]

Hey,

 

i got a question, or, depending on the answer an issue report. Every time when i manually resolve attacks to Caed Nua, i get a random formation nearly always with my mages in front, sometimes even initially engaged in melee. That results in high frequent dying and loading since after the first two-three seconds my first mage dies. Arranging my party before battle does not help. Am i missing something?

 

If not, it is a weird mechanic here. I am prepared to welcome the attackers which i was warned about some days before and they can ambush me every time in my own fortress? Might be that its not that hard if some additional defenders are stationed in the fort (only read about that so far), but at least in the beginning (currently level 5), this is very painful . . .

 

 

Best regards

Yahku

You do.

Resolved encounters don't use your set formation. But the "portrait order" instead.

Try to drag'n'slide the portraits of your party members.

Thanks, good to know!

 

It's a bit circumstantial though and it would be fine to have the selected formation here, but maybe i just adapt the order of my characters and get used to it
