Command An Army Formations

Command An Army Formations
Direct answerBeyond the four basic orders, troops can be set into formations that change how they hold ground. Two are central: Shield Wall (Hold Position) for defense, where Shieldmen lock together to blunt a push; and Triangle for offense, concentrating a charge on one spot. Triangle suits fast units such as Scout Riders.

TriangleOffensive — concentrates a charge on one spot; suits fast units like Scout Riders

Match the formation to the objective

Shield Wall is tied to holding position, so it pairs naturally with the Hold command when you are trying to keep a captured point. Triangle works in the opposite direction, driving a charge into one spot. Pick based on whether you are defending a point or breaking into one.

Holding is the exact command the tutorial tests you on: when the objective warns of an incoming enemy push, select Hold and let the troops absorb the charge instead of chasing.
