Description:

This is an enhanced version of motomatarus "Formnations and AI" mod for Warband https://www.nexusmods.com/mountandblade/mods/3784

PLAY GUIDE:
For Hold and Follow commands, default division placement around the player is: infantry to the left, cavalry to the right, and archers up front. Additional infantry divisions set up further left, additional cavalry further right, and additional ranged further forward. So, for example, if you would like TWO ranged divisions and want the one with thrown weapons further forward, make sure the archers are in Division 3 and the skirmishers in a Division 4-9.

Troop divisions that for whatever reason are NOT in formation will attempt to integrate with the other divisions in the "Hold" position. These divisions will maintain the same FACING that the player had unless the player checks the autorotate option in the Formations Options Menu under the Camp Menu.

The player may override default placement through the additional F2 Menu command to memorize division(s) placement relative to the player. So if you prefer, for example, your cavalry in front and your archers behind, rearrange these divisions during a quiet battle and then press F2-F7. Just make sure to stand toward the rear when memorizing and pad your new arrangement with plenty of space, as changes in division sizes, position rotations, and map borders affect the precision of memorized placement.

List of changes I made:
I imported Viking Conquest overhead stab animations for polearms so the unit can be effectiv in cohesive formations as well.
rotated the shield meshes so the shields cover the whole soldier or the main torso not just face.
