Defend stops this by only allowing the units to walk a few meters before they will form up again - just far enough, for example, to make sure and enemy soldier is going to turn and run and not just keep plinking from a short distance away.How to play well in the AoE III Definitive Edition! As a result, it's sometimes possible for soldiers to get strung out across the map or to be lured into range of a fort. To illustrate how important this mode is, consider that Musketeers in volley mode will auto-attack an enemy unit that strays too near them, or attacks them first. This is usually one of those aforementioned expensive cannon. Armies can also defend an area or another unit. It puts the units in a box, and keeps them there by preventing them from moving more than a few meters to deal with enemy troops. "The game's final formation is a universal one available to every military unit. They will also automatically go into bombard mode when tasked to attack a unit or building." Universal Formations Cannon will automatically go into limber mode when sent very far across a map. When the safety of cannon is in doubt, discretion is definitely the better part of valor. Artillery pieces are incredibly powerful, incredibly fragile, and incredibly expensive units. Limber is used exactly the way it was used on real-world battlefields - to cross long distances, or to flee from a battle in which the artillery may get destroyed. Unlike most formation changes, it only takes a couple of seconds to transition from bombard to limber mode or back. In limber mode, artillery "packs up" for rapid movement, but cannot attack at all. "This formation is the opposite of bombard for cannon. On the other hand, this is in many ways when an artillery piece is the most vulnerable because it can't run away from attackers." The movement is nice because it lets players slowly advance as they blast away at enemy troops, or take out the outer buildings in a colony and then move inward to destroy extra buildings.
Cannon in bombard mode can attack and move very slowly. "For obvious reasons, this is a formation that's only available to cannon. Sometimes it's worth it to make absolutely sure to kill those mortars assaulting a base, though." Artillery Unit Formations While in this formation cavalry damage themselves as well - it's a reckless attack that exposes your horses to a lot more pointy weapons. Players need to be wary of trample, though. When fighting a single infantry unit, Trample would be a waste because of the lowered damage, but when fighting multiple infantry units at once, it's indispensable. When players switch a unit to trample, the unit's movement rate drops and their attack rating lowers, but it allows the cavalry to do area damage. Trample lets players clear out these hordes of lesser units. These units generally get in the way of advancing cavalry, and make it difficult to get to that juicy, weak, but expensive unit in the middle. "The trample formation for cavalry is an example of something we put in specifically to deal with a game balance issues - in this case, the classic "meat shield." A meat shield is formed when players protect cannon with a horde of weaker units.
